+1 I don't see the advantage of these super fat tires. I would be in the group that completely disagrees with the tests in BQ that fatter tires roll faster etc. If that were truly the case the mfg's would not hesitate to hype that to no end, and totally re-tire the world, especially the racing community.
Comfort is another matter altogether, but you can even get 23c's to be comfy is you experiment w/ pressures. Striking the balance in terms of width, pressure, typical road surfaces, weight of rider and stuff is the key. As always, YMMV.
