I've got 27.5" MTB knobbly's which came standard on my MTB (Schwalbe Rapid Rob). I spend most of my time riding on paved paths and roads so the MTB big knobbly tyres are probably losing efficiency.
However, I'm curious what would happen to my top speed if I swap them over to commuter/slick tyres. Obviously they will be more efficient overall generally, but they will have a slightly smaller rolling diameter than the large knobbly's.
which will likely win out, the improvement in efficiency/reduction in rolling resistance or the reduction in rolling diameter, or do you reckon it would be negligible and I'm being pedantic!
thanks
