How important do you all think rolling resistance and weight are over rides of 10 mile or less?
I know that over a 100 mile ride these are huge factors.
But I never ride my commuter bike more than 10 miles at a time anymore. (Weekend rides are either on a different bike or with the kids going 3 mph)
Usually my commute is 6 total miles a day, up to 10 if I take the long way home when it's nice out.
Are rolling resistance and weight even a factor on this bike for these short rides? Or are traction and puncture resistance all that matters over that distance?
I don't even need new tires right now for the commuter. I need them for the other bike and when I started shopping for them I started second guessing tires for the commuter too.
