I know for fit purposes that this isn't the correct dimension. But for how your body presents itself to the environment, it matters.
With staggered tire sizes front/rear, does this actually contribute to your "stack height" as viewed from the road surface upwards? This was why they dictated wheel sizes back in the day. Folks were putting really small front wheels on bikes with larger rear ones. It tilted you forward with no consequence to hip angle.
So, for 23/25 front to rear.......that would be 2mm of reduced stack. If you own a really really modern rear wheel or disc built around 28's or even 30's.......would that mean that 23/28 would be 5mm of reduced stack? A 23/30 7mm?
If so, 5mm is 0.20". That's about the height of the shorter stack spacers on my cockpit.
So, if a skinny rider won't get much extra from a 25mm or 28mm front tire on CRR but is pretty quick for the aero to kick in......would running a "funny car" staggered tire setup provide a tangible aero benefit from your "stack height" as viewed from the road surface?
Ok, that's all the idiocy I have for today. I've had too much morning coffee.
