[QUOTE=PeteHski;22893712]The difference in aero hardly matters to pro racers, never mind an average club racer or recreational rider. A lot of teams were racing on 30 and 32 mm tyres at Paris Roubaix this year. While you can say that’s only because of the cobbles, there is still 200 km of 50 kph road to cover. If there was a significant loss of speed on those wider tyres, they wouldn’t be racing them simple as that [//QUOTE]

Then why wouldn’t they race the 32’s all year long in every race?
