For example: I ride my GP4000sII 25mm on 22mm internal rim width at 98psi rear / 90 psi front on sunny days and it's super plush, no punctures, no pinches. In winter I'm at 100 psi rear / 95 psi front same positive experience.
EDIT: also pro tip if anyone has trouble stretching these tires onto their rims, let the tires stretch outside of the packaging in a humid room for about an hour before trying to mount. Pre stuff the tube in the tire before mounting and inflate. Deflate, remove the tube then mount as normal. It helps to preshape this tire before trying to mount otherwise it will fight you.
If your rims are wide, stay away from the narrower sizes. They'll fit, but will have a very harsh ride and be prone to pinch flats.

If your "older" bike isn't that old and is running 32's, NO.

No most likely that's your frame size. If it's a newer road bike it most likely will be 25"(maybe 28"), 23" is kinda considered "older" standards.
Yup...the fact it's a 23" bike means they haven't adopted the metric system yet, so you are most likely fine.
That's a tall bike, btw...like > 6'4" tall.
I just put a new set on my bike about 600 miles ago. I think I paid about $43 per tire, so this is slightly cheaper. Looks like prices have gone up since I bought that pair. I went ahead and grabbed another set with this deal, as I know I'll need them eventually and this way I have spares in case I hit something big enough to wreck a tire.
