Just replaced my old semi knobbly 700x40 hybrid tyres with Michelin City Pilots 700x32.
Bike definitely seems to roll better on the road though slipped and slid a bit on a steep muddy track.
One unexpected bonus is that normally my fingers go numb after a couple of miles .after an 8 mile ride no numbness at allthis is going to really improve my enjoyment of riding the bike.
These tyres wont suit you if you count every gram as they are solidly built with protek P******* protection and weigh in at 1000 grams each.I cant say that the extra weight was noticeable to me and it is probably more than offset by the better rolling .
Pressure rating is between 45 and 87 psi so put 60 in for now.
If anyones interested I will report back on them after getting some miles in on them.
