After having used HED Jets for several years on my tri bike, I am getting a set of RSL's (75/62).
Looking online, seems to be some mixed recommendations on tire width (tubeless). Seems like trek leans towards 25 for aero, but I had read an article on slowtwitch where the reviewer said he had a very hard time getting 25's to bead up, and felt the wheels were more suited to 28's.
What say you all??

Nominal 25s (like 28mm WAM) will be ever slightly faster in a wind tunnel test, but there's more to going fast than wind tunnel results. I would just run 28s.
Thx, that is what I am leaning towards (28).
Now the horrible task of deciding on a tire!!
