In my experince, the specialized armadillo series are usually larger than
their marked size. I've run their 23c tire for years, and it looks the same
size as other company's 25 c

Continental's 4 Seasons and Specialized "armadilla" bike tires both have
Kevlar-Aramid bands on road and side wall areas, and are both "tough".
Armadillo's are slightly bulkier and heavier, so speed seekers generally
go for the lighter tire. Tire diameter clearance: trading a 28C armadillo
for a Panaracer 28C was tight in the main frame fork, so I had to get an
available 23C armadillo (maybe a 25C could have worked) to give me
rotation clearance.
