I see PX have got a good deal on some tyres. The 25mm version has sold out but there’s loads of the 23mm ones left. How does the difference translate in reality as I’m guessing for a slightly unfit MTB rider used to hauling around fat tyres I won’t notice any?

I know I prefer 25s, you don’t, so why care what anyone else thinks?

25s or 28s in winter, 23s everywhere else

I know next to nothing about road bikes so it’s not preference, I just don’t know what the difference is. I’m asking so someone can give me some info to make a decision.

23s are alright, I commuted on them for thousands of miles. But my new build will be 25s for that little bit of extra comfort. If you are an MTB’er and not a dedicated road rider either will be alright.

what do you weigh and what condition are the roads you ride?

23s are fine all year round. Country lanes full of mud gravel and grit, potholes the lot. And some on/off road 100ks

25s do feel nice though.

12.5 stone and it’s the lovely roads of Surrey, so knackered road surface for parts, decent at times.

Either or it makes very little difference. It’s 2mm ffs. 😀

As the actress said to the Bishop.

How good a deal? I think ribble are still doing conti gp4000s for less then £25 each, which is brilliant.

23s all year round for me. Lighter, faster, etc.

6 quid for schwalbe blizzard sports

might be worth looking closely at your usage, i know my bike won’t take 25’s and mudguards. there is simply not enough clearance through the brakes.
