quick survey on tire sizes vs. team weights?
Can we have a quick survey on tire sizes vs. team weights? I am looking at Maxxis Columbiere 700c X 25 tires, and I'm not sure if I might be going too narrow for our 310 lbs team. Has anybody used Maxxis or heard about them?
Can't find anything wider here in Buenos Aires.

Team weight is without the bike weight right?

I think it depends on your roads. Here in the Ozarks the road surfaces tend to be very course. We see quite a bit of fresh chip-n-seal and we have the occasional stretch of gravel on older paved roads. For these reasons we're on 700 x 30's @ 95-100psi. We can ride just about anything on these things. (Team weight 315.)
