40mm ROAD tires - not mountain bike tires.
And yes, compared to "skinny tires" they are faster.
The sweet spot for the "fastest" for the pros on roads is still being debated but the pro teams are now riding 28mm and up (which would have been a huge fat tire not that long ago).
I am not a pro and i can keep up with any Saturday group on 40mm and the comfort is so so much better
