I don't mind the extra drag, just makes you stronger. I'm not racing anyway when I'm trail riding.
Yes, right on. I'm more worried about traction than speed for Strathpuffer. Aside from that I don't ever race so I don't care if I'm slow the rest of the time either, my friends can just wait for me.
Now do I wait and try to find the tyres cheap or just buy them now and get some "training" (lol) done on them? £74 the pair on bike-discount :'(

I find larger volume tyres are good for confidence, yah. Also a bit of insurance against skill deficit.
