we still talk about 'compromise' between speed and comfort when discussing wider tyres.
There is a compromise. You're only considering rolling resistance. 42mm tyres are significantly less aero than 23mm and this will be a not insignificant drag at higher speeds.
Ok that's fair. I guess it's a different game if you're talking that level of optimisation. I average like 20kmh on long stuff, party pace and all that eh.
