Are wider tires really faster in real life? (25c vs 28c)

The 4.5ARs are the goldy lock rims that strike a balance between aero dynamic gains, stability in cross winds, weight and accepting wide tires. In practice, I think the larger yaw angles will play a significant role, because winds rarely come head on and are rarely laminar.

Of course, aesthetics will also play a role, although personally, I really dig larger aero wheels. Tastes may vary, of course :slightly_smiling_face:

But if you want to save every watt, then going deep is the answer … choices, oh choices :grin: In either case, if these are your choices I don’t think there is any way to go wrong here, Enve rims are top notch, light, aero, beautiful, the only downside I can think of is the price tag.
