I commuted 34 miles round trip on a mtb w 2”? slick tires & it seemed pretty good until I switched bikes. I wouldn’t do it now. don’t know your roads or distance but for me, w a 44 mile round trip (that I only do rarely) it’s best w a conventional road bike & 25mm tires. I have hybrids w wide tires, some textured, some smooth. If I had to resort to one of those in a pinch, I’d choose the slicks & expect the trip to take at least 25% longer. I think some gravel bikes w drop bars can take wide slicks, like you might be suggesting? I wouldn’t go that wide on my roads but sounds like a fun experiment. especially if the distance is only approx 10 miles & the surface is exceptionally nasty
