Not completely a tyre question but I think it is: I've got a steel Bombtrack Arise 1 which is (still!) running 700c x 37mm Voyager Hypers I bought in 2018 and the ride quality (in terms of comfort, which is my priority these days) has never been great.
It's on its second pair of wheels, first pair had Archetypes, current are Kinlin XR-26RT's.
Reviews of the Arise say it's comfortable, so that only leaves the tyres, right? Does the hive mind think I'd get better comfort with slightly bigger, more premium tyres (thinking something like WTB Horizons) and if so any suggestions?
Bombtrack say max tyre size is 40mm for 700c but apparently you can fit a bit more so up to ~43mm should be safe.
