What does the "c" in bicycle tire size mean? For instance, in some cases I will see a particular bike tire listed as available in 700x25, 700x25c, 700c x 25, and 700 x 25mm.  (Just picking out a number here, it could be 23, 25, 27, etc.)

What, if any, is the difference between these?  I would think that 700x25 is the same as 700 x 25mm, but I'm not so sure about the "c" when it lists both "700x25" and "700x25c" as sizes for the same tire on the same site, and lists different prices for each!
It doesn't mean anything, really. It's a historical relic.

At one point in time, "700c" was a standard tire/rim size, where "c" indicated the bead seat diameter and "700" was the diameter, in millimeters, when the tire was installed and inflated.

That "700c" tire size has a 622 millimeter bead seat diameter. There's an ISO standard that's often listed in small print where those tires are all '25-622'. This is the same as "29er", though usually tires marketed that way are substantially wider. "700", "622" and "29" are really all the same size.

All those tire sizes you list are the same.  If there were different prices for the "700x25" and the "700x25c", it's because there was some other difference between the tires, like model, threads per inch, bead type (wire or kevlar), etc...
