Depends on the rims that you have.

eg http://www.mavic.com/road/products/a-119.324120.2.aspx
Recommended tire widths: 28 to 47 mm

They are Concept SL rims with the following printed -
Alloy 6063 T6
ETRTO 622x17c

does this help?

If the rim is 622x17c then according to

25mm seems to be the answer.
