Totally agree. I do think that people underestimate the width of that point tho. For most people who are not racing the suspension benefits probably outweighs the minimal aero loss, but it’s really hard to measure. I have been on fast group rides on 48mm slicks and although I get funny looks (and am not going to win many races because I’m old and lazy) I genuinely L find it easier to keep up than on 28mm tyres i had previously. Part of that is confidence maneuvering at speed on fairly crappy roads though.
