A few years ago I did a triathlon where the back half of the bike course was so rough with chipseal and cracks that I was literally worried about bolts backing out and the bike falling apart under me. That was on Conti Attack 22s; I certainly would have been faster on 25s at lower pressure, giving up a couple of watts on the front half but being able to go a couple mph faster on the back half because of not being bounced around like riding on a paint mixer.
The Attacks were wonderfully quick and plenty comfortable on the smooth tarmac portion. I wonder if you'd love your 20s so much if you were riding on Texas farm roads.
