I would probably run a 32mm on the rear if it fit and a 25 mm on the front because the recumbent has a lot of speed, so, the front tire fit to the rim is important but the rear tire is shielded and width matter nothing for aero effects back there. I used 28 mm GP4000 a lot on my uprights. I used 25 mm GP 4000 on PBP 2015. I rarely get flats although I did get one on PBP as Bijorn Lennard and Fiona Kolbinger came by me dragging a whole train of riders behind them. I only had one other flat that year in the middle of the night on lousy roads I ran over a chunk of metal. Butyl vs latex does matter. I am considering trying tubeless once more.
