RE 25c's...
Schwalbe make good tyres. Marathon's have a good rep (altho they're meant to be a bitch to get on... but then you're not meant to have to take them off until they're dead) - I've never used them tho, but I liked the lugano's.
I run 25c maxxis refuse in london, for the puncture resistance and to give a little bit of extra comfort but without compromising rolling resistance (and bc a forumunger who's opinion I respect rates them)... I like the set up.
My road bike has ~20c I think (veloflex paves), and that spends more time in the countryside... so if it was me rolling around country lanes, I'd just stick to 23c. I don't know what the langster's tyres are like, but stock tyres are usually a bit shit and my *very *limited experience says wheel stuff generally seems to be money well spent.
If you search you'll find the tyres list which has plenty of information.
