Shit grip? Sounds like shit tyres - search for the tyres list thread.
i don't jump kerbs and i don't 'thrash' my bike. I know everyone's gushing over huge tyres at the mo, but i think its just a bit like the craze for bulletproof 36h wheelsets - ott for 99%.
imo 25c is the perfect balance between speed and comfort. I love the refuse, bc of the grip and puncture resistance (but thats just my preference). If you like a bigger tyre go for 28c. I think randos can go to a high pressure. Search and you'll find out.
