It does sound strange to call 25 wider, but my buddy just rebuilt his
27-y-o Mercian into upright, and while he can fit a 28 commuter tire on the
rear with no worries, he's having problems with 25 a commuter tire on the
front. If he gets anywhere near the recommended pressure, the bulge from
his weight pushes the tire into the brake caliper. But clearly this frame
was built as a road racer and not a touring frame. I let him get in front
at the end of a ride last weekend, though, and he was pacing us @ 24 mph
for 13 miles.
