Trying to figure out the right size tire for my rims, and wondering how aero factors into WRT rim width.
I have a front Zipp 808 FireCrest, which I think the rim width is 24.73 (brake track rim width). I have been running Zipp Speed Tangente tires (size 23c). I was thinking the 23c was more aero than the 25c. But now, I'm wondering if my tire is too narrow since I'm not getting the benefit of the 23c aero since my rim width (i.e., 24.73) is greater than that. So, I'm wondering if I should just use the Zipp Tangente 25c tire in the front and I won't lose any aero and gain some CRR. ???
If I had a rear disc that was not as wide (e.g., 20c), then should have have a narrower tire (e.g., 23c)? Or, maybe it doesn't matter because it's in the back shielded with all the bike fairing, etc., and I should just use the 25c (or whatever fits).
