23 is rather narrow for the poorly maintained urban street, advantage to a 32 tire then.
but if they wont fit then thats it 25 is what you got. then theres the issue of fenders or wheel spray stripe up your backside..


wet weather braking puts dirt and aluminum off the rims onto those reflex bands anyway.. reducing their light reflecting..

cheap in bike tires is $20 each these days. except 27" at Wally World.
