switched from Specialized Turbo Elite 23c to Specialized SW Turbo in 26c
the 26c runs at a higher pressure (120psi) as its the S-Works tire, whereas the previous tire ran around 100-110psi
the new tire is definitely more comfortable on the same roads, its a much higher volume tire and feels substantially quicker (which is probably the new casing and compound rather than just the bigger tire
I also had the previous 2 generations of SW Turbo tires in 23C as a further comparison, and both felt harsh on the same roads
I noticed they offer this new SW tire in only 24c and 26c and its aimed at professional road racing
from what I’ve read the bigger tire are faster, which goes against the old thinking of narrow tire = faster
but once you go over 26c aerodynamics start to negate the advantages of lower rolling resistance that bigger volume tires provide
