Will I notice any difference if I fit 'faster' tyres on a touring bike (http://www.ridgeback.co.uk/bike/voyage#details) to replace the current Continental Contact 700 x 32c tyres on 19mm rims? If so, which ones? Have signed up for a fast-ish spin, no intention of getting a new road bike.

'I do not believe in the three-speed gear at all', the sergeant was saying. 'It is a newfangled instrument, it crucificies the legs, the half of the accidents are due to it.' (From 'The Third Policeman')
