I converted after I realized how nice it is ride wider tires at low PSI
When I race, I still do so at higher psi (which is faster) but for my training rides I’m usually around 40-50psi on 32s, and the ride is just SO smooth
And then there’s the added benefit of no flats. And it’s not no flats riding over clean roads, it’s no flats and I ride on the shoulder, thru gravel occasionally, don’t worry AS much about debris on the road
Besides the bit of learning curve and a bit more time on setup , the improved ride quality is one of the single best “enhancement” for me in many years
