    Apologies if it's been done to death but I couldn't find a recent thread.
    (most seem to be a few years old when wheels were square)

    Also are people tending towards 25s more now?

    Thanks

    Michelin Power Competition 25mm... fast!... or Schwalbe one pro tubeless if you've got a tubeless setup.. very fast!

    GP4000S II with latex tubes, and yes to the 25s.

    I use regular butyl tubes but a clubmate swears the latex tubes are faster and comfier, I alas have other areas of improvement to tackle first

    Conti GP400s II for me too, with regular tubes. I'll splash out on the latex ones some day maybe, but a bit worried about Conti sidewall failure to make the leap at present. Nice fast rolling grippy tyre, but pricey though.
    ETA 25's also.

    I use Tufo Calibra Plus 25mm with butyl tubes and cannot fault them, in 3 years I've had 4 punctures max across a few sets, very light and fast.
