that would be more accurate than a dyno test on a tire, because there are a lot of road variables, including parachute factor, weight split between tires. My go-fast bike will lunge up grades in tall gears (Open Paves) with a fairly gentle mash, and I would want a lower gear and spin on a different bike. And yes, it's all about enjoying the ride. Back to the Open Paves, they are a remarkably comfortable ride for 95 psi 27mm - they just don't last long, I get 600 mi from a rear.
