As a recovering bike mechanic of 20 years (my retirement goal is to be able to afford doing that job again, it’s joyful but hard to make a living) the writing has been on the wall for several years about the many benefits of wider tires (and rims too I suppose). From fewer puncture flats, to greater comfort and traction, to actually lower rolling resistance, I dknt see a move back to narrower tires being something that ever happens and I couldn’t be happier about that fact! I’m too slow and old to reap any performance benefits, but my comfort and enjoyment of wider tires makes me ride my bike more. https://www.renehersecycles.com/bq-tire-test-results/
