hey guys i know this is a stupid question but what is the difference btw 700x23c tires and 700x25c tires????
 
23s are narrower and give a slightly harsher ride. They are also slightly faster though IMO.
 
There's not a lot of difference.

23mm provides better aerodynamics
25mm provides slightly less rolling resistence

23mm is the most popular size, but if you are a heavy or a slower rider then 25mm is better.

A few run 23 on the front and 25 on the rear.

2mm in height, probably 1.5mm in overall width for the same rim.
