Actually, I don't think it would have changed my choice at all. What is clear from both Tom's test and yours, is that the Jet+ wheels are very sensitive to width around the 26C range for a mounted tired. Below that, and you're good. Above that, and your drag heads south. That's why a slightly narrower Supersonic outperforms a wider one and the 25C TT is a piece of crap (aerodynamically). in short, none of the best rolling tires are aerodynamically optimal with this wheel.
Hence my choice of the old 808 with 20C Crono tubular. Still the best combination of aerodynamics and Crr around.
It's a shame you didn't test some narrower tires. I think there might be hope for the new 20C SS.

I am sorry, I wish I could have gotten out sooner but just wasn't possible making the drive back and then putting in 5+ training day. I hope you have a great race regardless.
