I use 25s on my rear exclusively, and use 25s as front for training and 23s up front as a race tire. Sometimes I'm lazy and don't feel like swapping for a non-race, and I'll keep the 23 front on. There are some local roads I won't ride with a front 23 - I want to keep my fillings in my teeth.

Were those roads chip seal? Or otherwise rougher than normal?
