@owl if you're looking at 25's you could try the Vittoria open corsa, if gumwall is preferred. I've been, ahem, commuting on them for 2 months and have even done a few gravel excursions on them and they've been fine, which is crazy for a race tyre. BUT I would say the Open Pave is somehow comfier and rides really well. I imagine a 27mm on an archetype would be amazing.
FWIW a 25mm vittoria seems to be bang on 25 on a 23mm rim (19 internal)

Thanks for this - I've listened to advice and gone for the Open Pave. 1100+ miles in 10 days unsupported probably isn't the time to be prioritising aesthetics over function! Will def be looking for some gumwalls for future posing so will bear these in mind.
