[Closed] Roadies - did you move to 25mm tyres and stick with them?

maxb · 2014-09-26T10:32:40Z

Just bought a pair of 25mm Conti GP4000IIs for my new Zondas - going on a new build. Previously running 23mm on narrower Mavic rims. However, the mounted 25's look mahoosive - more like a hybrid balloon tyre - not tried them yet and reluctant to as I might chop them back in for 23's but have you switched to 25s and are the benefits worth it? The mounted 23's actually measure just under 23mm wide, the 25's near 26mm probably due to the slightly wider Zondas. Can't help wondering that staring down at these things would make me feel slower...

The One tubular is a totally different animal to the clincher version, for a start it's treaded.

Recently switched from Giant 23's to same tyre as OP (GP4000S2 in 25c) and definitely not going back. Demonstrably faster on corners and more comfy.
