Have mostly had a set of 700x40 on the Hillborne. The tires are very reliable. There are times when they do seem sluggish as Andrew Hill states. Still can't figure it out as the tire seems light enough. Might be the casing. Usually have the tires inflated to 40 front 45-50 rear. Am 225 with high bars so more weight on the rear (of the bike, that is).
