I have a 2013 Trek SC with the original draft box mounted on the back. Has anyone found a 25mm wide tire that works with this setup? I tried a Conti 4000 700 x 25 but it was too tall and ended up rubbing on the draft box mounting bracket. Basically looking for a recommendation for a lower profile 25mm tire. Racing IMLP this July so would like some puncture resistance as well but will go full race tire if necessary.

Running a pair of Reynolds Assault carbon clincher wheels. Not sure the width.

I would probably use 23mm wide tires on the Assault wheels.

Talk tires are somewhat less tall on wider rims. You might just want to use 23mm. GP5000 are less tall than 4000s AFAIK though

So 25mm GP5000s is what I am going to use on my SC as well.
It also makes sense to me that narrower rims make the tire taller also.
