I’ve found tires from different manufacturers measure different widths on the same wheels when inflated to the same pressures. From memory Vittoria measured it’s nameplate width but Continentals were wider than specified. For me, 25s are usually an excellent width for my road bikes, both with rim and disc brakes. But I’m still trying to wear out some 23s I have left over as I tended to buy tires in bulk. I’ve put thousands of miles on 23’s and enjoyed how they performed. 25s give me a little more confidence on descents especially paired with some slightly wider rims which seem to be the norm anymore.
