I know what you mean, as far as applying a conversion table goes, but just by the look of'm and based on my recollection, 23s seem to me to be close to what tubulars used to be, 25s seem about as wide but a little higer sidewall than the old 1-1/8" and the Continental's gators--which seem to me to be more petit than some of the other brands--look a lot to me like the 1-1/4" tires that were the mainstay for years. 1-3/8" tires (e.g., I remember Specialized Expedition tires) are a lot bigger than my 28-gatorskins and seem to be bigger than the 32s that I've seen.
