Hi all
My current bike has 700x38 tyres. Looking to prolong use throughout winter by getting more road/cycle path work in. Could anyone advise as to what tyres to fit that are better suited to paved surfaces and have less resistance ?? And how skinny i can go on existing wheels??Current wheels are as below. Many thanks.

Or any 700c semi slick commuter job. Don't worry about skinny, they will be quick enough, and dirt tracks still be fine.
I run a rigid mountain bike on wide semi slicks, it's quick on the road as a winter training bike.

Current trend is for wider rims on road wheels anyway. From what you've said, your rims are a 16mm internal width. For example, H plus Son Archetype rims (commonly considered the go-to rim for decent, but not excessively expensive builds) have a 17mm internal rim width and are fine for tyres down to 23mm. So, fit whatever you like I reckon.
