I have the 700x40's and love them. For me they roll fast at 70psi rear and 65 psi front. I weigh about 260 now and need the wide tire. They seem as fast as my other bike with 32 mm Panaracer Ribmo's @ 90 psi. I think it depends on your weight but lets face it, there is only a few mm difference. I say go wide with pride.
