  1. hey guys i know this is a stupid question but what is the difference btw 700x23c tires and 700x25c tires????

  2. 23s are narrower and give a slightly harsher ride. They are also slightly faster though IMO.

  3. There's not a lot of difference.

    23mm provides better aerodynamics
    25mm provides slightly less rolling resistence

    23mm is the most popular size, but if you are a heavy or a slower rider then 25mm is better.

    A few run 23 on the front and 25 on the rear.

    2mm in height, probably 1.5mm in overall width for the same rim.
