>>1207782It's the most significant mass on the entire bicycle. And it's acceleration and climbing that are most affected. It's the biggest tradeoff in wheel choices for performance riders, balancing wheel weight vs aero.
Considering the size of a factor rolling resistance is, it's a reasonable thing to consider.
Also remember, for OP's example we're talking about the difference between 25 mm and fatbike tires.
>>1207785I'd double check your fit, and inflation pressure. I'm also assuming that you're not racing on these, and that the roads are a little rough. I'd start by looking at things in the touring category. Vittoria randoneurs, Marathons. With the advent of road disc, there's been lots of new road tires in the wider ranges, so there's plenty of options.
And I mean it about inflation. Before you buy anything, you should try dropping your tire pressure, unless you're already at the low end. Oversimplified pic related.
>>1207296Exploring your tire options is a great idea, but do it for your own sake. Even if you limit yourself to meme tires, there's lots of choices.
