Lennard Zinn is a recognized cycling expert and other noted authors such as Edmund Burke in "High Tech Cycling" deal with the high pressure racing tires used in competition. Tire internal deformation has a big effect on rolling resistance. What we are seeing now is the advent of tubeless tires in mountain bikes which have much less rolling resistance than tires with tubes. Selecting the tire for your riding application should include consideration for your weight and a tread that allows for water to move out of the tire patch area efficiently.
