Mimi, do understand that if you go to a wider tire you will have more rolling resistance and it is likely to impact your speed. I do prefer wider tires on my commuter, but love the 23 stelvios for fast club riding. My husband bought the yellow striped michelins, and they tore on his first ride! I have yet to flat with my stelvios.

Regarding "yellow striped michelins": Michelin makes many tires with yellow stripes and not all Michelins have the same durability. Race Pros are known for being more prone to slashes (personally experienced) but Carbon are known for lasting a darn long time (also personally experienced).
