I know that my perception of what is faster is not always proven by the facts so I would be really interested in the results if you can try some actual time trials/comparos of your speed on the RPs versus "racier" skinny tires. If the skinny tires have any advantage I might guess that it would diminish as the length of the ride increases and comfort becomes more important. I read somewhere that the real difference between skinny/less skinny tires comes from the aero advantage at high (25+mph) speeds rather than rolling resistance or weight.
The real, as opposed to advertised, weight of the RPs isn't that much greater than supposedly lighter tires.
I love the ride of Michelins but I get way too many flats due to our debris-strewn roads. None yet with my RuffyTuffy or Conti UltraGatorkins.
