Tire width different front - rear question
I recently had an issue with Continental tire. They sent me a replacement but in 23 not the 25 it replaced. Rather than deal with trying to send back for a 25 I wonder if I can use it on bike with other tire being 25.....if so...better to have 23 on front or back?
I rode motorcycles and front was skinnier than rear tire so am guessing ok to use 23 on front and 25 on back.
A friend just told me they run 23 on back wheel and 25 on front for “stability on descents as well as speed”. This person doesn’t like descending steep grades. Has vertigo.
So what would be best overall for handling and safety?
