But that doesn't stop Jan Heine from trying. Here's his effort for
January 2, 2020:

The only things I reckon he has right are wide tyres and e-bikes, and
around my way he's two years behind the times on both, so it wasn't hard.

Round my way Heine is ten years behind the times. And that's for 60mm tyres. If you define "wide tyres" as 37mm and up, as someone just did on another forum I read, Heine is 30 years, a whole generation, behind my times.

Use the tire width suited for your riding style and road conditions you ride on. It has always been like that. Never used tires less than 2 and 2.5 inch wide on my ATB's. Never used tires less than 32 mm wide on my commuter.. The difference might be that at the moment you can good quality wider tires. Don't understand the whole fuss about tire width.

For a while, the fuss was "No, of course you can't put 28s on that bike. It's
designed for 25s. It doesn't have clearance for 28s."

I remember asking what could possibly be the advantage in designing a bike to
prohibit reasonable tire choices. I don't remember any reasonable answers.
