Previously, the cycling world thought that skinnier tires for road/street riding were strictly better, and most importantly faster. Now, people are catching onto the benefits of wider bike tires: comfort, puncture resistance, better corning and finding out that they're not necessarily slower than skinnier tires under real world conditions. As more people are converting to wider tires for ever day use, are skinny or wide tires better for you and your fixed gear? Let's find out.
