Just give it time. I am beating my long-held times with 25s on my 32s. If you keep riding the fatter tires and give you brains some time to jive with them, it is hard to go back. My buddy who also rode 25s forever now rides 32 ENVEs that balloon out to 34.5 on his 3.4 SES rims. He is also easily as fast (though fatter so I am not sure how) but regardless, the fatter tires are not slowing him down either.
