And yet fatter tyres are faster than the slimmer ones they used to run. No-one run slim tyres these days.

- webnrrd2k 3mo agoI could be wrong, but it turns out that somewhat fatter tires with lower pressure are faster because less energy is wasted by deforming slightly and rolling over small bumps, as opposed to thin high-pressure tire "bouncing" over pavement. There is less wasted vertical motion with the wider tires.
