The latest 25 and 28mm tyres are really fast. 25mm seems to be used these days by the pros. For smashed up UK tarmac (and especially the dreaded chipseal :shock: ) 28mm may well be faster.
It's a pity my Litespeed won't take any more than a 23mm on the back.
my 28mm tyred winter trainer/commuter is faster on all but the best surfaces than my 23mm tyred 90s race bike
