Even with the fixed gear the commute was considerably faster than the fat slicks. And I was doing a fair distance, every day. Only difference being 1 or 2 kg more of bike.
Still I was happy with the big tyres, more wet grip, better against potholes, tubeless worked well enough and gravel capabilities. But faster they were not

Is your winter bike as light as your summer bike? As aero?
(No one is arguing that 40c is faster than 23c, which is why no one races on 40c. Rather pointing out that for a recreational rider the difference in speed, whilst there, is substantially psychological)
