The smaller the profile (width) the more difficult it is to mount a tire, in my opinion. In Jamaica, last winter, I had a choice between 700c x 23 o4 700c x 32. I bought the 23s and managed to get one on the rear rim. The other one, for the front, no way! So, I went back and bought the 32s putting them on with bare hands. And I learned something - bigger is better in the world of comfort. No more 23s, or 25s for me...
