so you're saying that smooth tires have lower rolling resistance than
treaded tires?

In most cases the answer is YES! Treads on tires on too small to do
anything.

theres differing opinion on mondo and fortezza. im interested in
getting a comfortable ride on moderate to good roads with little or no
room for flats. comparing these two tires is made easier by only
testing them, but i thought before i try on my fortezza road tires, i
should check for some opinions.

If you want more comfort, then forget the 700x23s and get yourself some
700x25 or larger tires. 25mm wide tire will have more air volume than a 23mm
and more air volume = lower psi = more comfort. Get a 700x25 tire and pump
up to 95-100psi and enjoy!
