Arguably, tubulars have the comfort/cushioning of the next size larger clincher because of the shape & air volume.
The 30mm tires that I've tried are nice but a bit shy in durability. I use 32mm file tread CX tires for around town, & they are fun, all purpose (handle dirt fine) & reasonably fast & quiet.
I have a Specialized 'hell of the north' 28mm tire that looks promising, but haven't tried it yet.
