Rear 25mm tyre

Brian1

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I need a new rear tyre. I have 23mm on the front but was thinking of buying a 25mm for the rear. Is this safe possible.TIA

Yes fine, but personally I’d just buy 2 of equal size as long as the clearances are fine.

Perfectly acceptable, and not that uncommon.
Continental Attack/Force is a 22mm front and 24mm rear.

I wouldn't recommend them personally, I did have a set and they wear very quickly (race tyres).
But 23/25 conti GP4000 would be a good choice.

My Canyon Aeroad came with a 23mm front and 25 mm rear. Added aero innt!!

I find it fine, just nice and quick handling.

Reynolds Strike wheels?

Definitely ok but just check you have enough clearance height and width wise for it.

Yup.
I've now got Schwable Pro One tubeless on them.

Makes perfect sense.
