• I believe the idea is to cut through the mud and hit something a little less soggy underneath. Chunkier tyres would get clogged pretty quickly. MX bikes come to mind.

    Testing true effectiveness of 33 vs 40mm tyres is a whole other thing. Saying all that, it's all swings and round abouts.
    Few years ago we were all rolling on 23c tyres and 650b was an anoraks' plaything.

  • @Dibble Pretty much. Hard comparison to make really. I was going on tyre size in relation to say, a 200 superbike tyre (which flexes as well) it was just a thought on shedding mud and getting traction.
