Tubular Tire Width
I want to purchase a pair of FMB Superprestige tubulars and I am deciding between 32 and 34 mm width. I am biased towards 34, but it seems like 32 is the “standard”. My thought is that the 34 would provide a bit more grip and be better for my weight (170 to 175 pounds). Tire weight is of secondary concern to me.
I appreciate any insight others have.

What level do you compete at and/or what races do you do? 34mm is not UCI legal but that may not matter depending on what races you do. The 34s will be a pretty sweet ride, for sure.

I agree with Chris, run the 34's, there is hardly a weight difference. The pro's would run 34's if the UCI allotted it. If you aren't UCI or racing in nationals, don't worry.
