Swapping 23mm to 25mm tyre on the same wheel

Post by Dicesociety »

Hi!
I've just joined the forum, after getting back into cycling, and already have a question.

I have a Specialized Allez (2010 model I think), which comes with 23mm Espoir tyres, which are now in dire need of replacement.

I'm looking at the michelin pro 4 endurance tyres, and with the current trend towards 25mm tyres, does anyone know if it's ok to go for the 25mm version of these (Ican't afford to change my wheels at the mo (maybe next month..))?

Cheers!

Providing that your frame has enough clearance for 25mm tyres, there should not be a problem. I've run both 23 and 25mm tyres on several bikes with no problems.
