Tyre recommendation please

Last year I mainly used 23mm GP4000s
This winter I have been using 25mm Conti Four Seasons.
Hard to tell the difference, but being quite heavy I think I prefer the slightly lower pressures of the 25mm.
Its also hard to tell if one is faster than the other, as I am getting fitter anyway so my sector times are improving and I can't blame it on the tyres.
Anyway, next month I head south for some sun, training and events. What tyres should I take with me?
I will be on good roads, so hopefully puncture resistance doesn't need to be top priority.
I want to stick with tyres and separator tubes.
I don't care what they cost or how long they last as long as they go fast and look cool.
Or...... stick with the Four Seasons as I am too much of a muppet to notice the difference.
Thanks.

You're too much of a muppet.....
Actually I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you are getting fitter - that's really what makes the difference.Commencal Meta 5.5.1

Schwalbe Ultremo ZX, but make sure that you ge tth enew V-Guard puncture protection, not last year's HD punction protection.
They do cut up a bit on the surface, but that's the price you pay for soft rubber, it doesn't detract from the ride and generally doesnt' go through to the tube. Wear is pretty good, they feel great, roll very well and stick like sh*t to a blanket in the corners !
I've worn a set of these tyres out with out sufferning a p******e on Berkshire's sh*t roads !Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.
Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved0
