Conti GP 4000s
I have been on Conti 4000s for a few years and have always used 700X25 tires but finding this size with the Black Chili Powder isn't easy. PBK has a great deal on the 700X23 on the tires with the Black Chili Powder. Would I notice much difference between these ttwo sizes? I am thinking I need to stock up on these tires because the prices are so good. Also, I have lost 25 lbs since I started riding so maybe 700X23 is a better choice for me anyway.

Never tried the 4000S in a 25. I'm 160 lbs and ride the 23s. They roll well and feel pretty good. Pretty comparable to Michelin PR2s, although maybe they nick a bit more easily. Had a pinch flat a week ago, but I think that was underinflation related.
I could never tell the difference btw 23 and 25 of the same tire at the same psi.

+1 for the 23's, especially if you have lost 25 pounds.
