I don't average those speeds on the road, but I do average close to those speeds at the velodrome. Handling matters. When I was experimenting with tires, there where some tires that felt fast but handled strangely on the banking. It is difficult to have confidence to go as hard as you can if the bike handles oddly. I eventually settled on Victoria Corsa G+ tires and latex tubes because they make the bike handle in a way that is predictable.
