23mm is a lots slower, I’d wager a good 40mm actually be better than the horrifically small 23mm that a lots of tyres manufacturers nowadays no longer make.

Netakure in reply to @edscoble

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.

And if one's using aero rims, there's none optimized for such fat tyres.

I have no idea about aero, but there's quite some 25mm plus internal aero rims?
3t discus for example.

Light Bicycle WG 44. It would be ~105% with a 38c tyre.
