I’ve found that the weight of wider tires sucks more out of all terrain rides than they benifit the few spots narrower tires stuffle on — and that includes winter riding (granted we’ve has a wimpy winter in terms of snow depth). My Hunqapillar handles better with liteskin 2.1” ThunderBurts than with wider and heavier tires. On my QB now (the only bike I’ve ridden since November), 38mm Steilacooms are brilliant. Where the line is for a given bike/rider/terrain/riding surface is going to vary significantly, but there is a point of diminishing returns. With good riding skill, the number of places I think “I wish I had a wider tire” is near nothing vs. the distance I ride in total, whereas with a wider tire all those miles feel clumbsy and cumbersome and plodding.
