Interesting article in the IET magazine if you want to understand why bigger tyres are better and what the pros are using.

I'm running 28's...  They might drag a little (marginal gains are lost on me) however on the upside I've had one puncture in nearly 2 years of riding my bike.

Why you should ride 25mm is because it was the narrowest tyre I could find on sale in Bridgend when I needed a new one NOW on Friday!
