00:00I recently wrote a story where I tested every size of a Schwalbe Pro 1 tubeless tire.
00:07You can get these everywhere from a 25, 28, 30, 32, 34, and 38.
00:16So I acquired all these, tested them, rode them, measured them, weighed them, etc.
00:24So we got all the data up that you can really nerd out and dive into.
00:28Overall, the biggest thing here is, in my experience, just get the biggest size tire and ram that in your bike.
00:34You're going to have the most comfortable feel. You're going to have the most traction.
00:37If it comes down to, hey, should I get a 28 or a 30?
00:41Really there, you're kind of splitting hairs.
00:43Go with what's going to sort of make you the most comfortable and what's going to have the best fit in your bike.
00:48Now, if you have a 34, 32, they tend to spin up a little bit slower than the 28.
00:56But if you've got a 25, in all seriousness, if you can get that 28 in your bike,
01:02you can even fit that 30 in your bike, you're going to have more comfort.
01:05You're going to have more traction.
01:07And at the end of the day, that's what really matters.
