    of integers, to integers and creates a list of random integers. The size of the 
    list equals the sum of these integers. Returns the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles 
    of this list.

    Parameters:

The user wants me to implement a function `task_func` that:

1. Takes a tuple of tuples of string representations of integers (`T1`)
2. Converts all string elements to integers
3. Creates a list of random integers where the size equals the sum of all converted integers
4. Returns the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of this list

Let me trace through the example:
- T1 = (('13', '17', '18', '21', '32'), ('07', '11', '13', '14', '28'), ('01', '05', '06', '08', '15', '16'))
- Convert to integers: 13, 17, 18, 21, 32, 7, 11, 13, 14, 28, 1, 5, 6, 8, 15, 16
- Sum = 13+17+18+21+32+7+11+13+14+28+1+5+6+8+15+16 = 205
- Create a list of 205 random integers (from 0 to max_value-1, i.e., 0 to 99)
- Return the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles

With random.seed(42), the expected output is (24.0, 48.0, 77.0).

Let me implement this:

```python
import numpy as np
import itertools
import random

def task_func(T1, max_value=100):
    # Flatten the tuple of tuples and convert strings to integers
    all_ints = [int(x) for x in itertools.chain.from_iterable(T1)]
    
    # Calculate the sum
    total = sum(all_ints)
    
    # Generate random integers
    random_list = [random.randint(0, max_value - 1) for _ in range(total)]
    
    # Calculate percentiles using numpy
    p25 = np.percentile(random_list, 25)
    p50 = np.percentile(random_list, 50)
    p75 = np.percentile(random_list, 75)
    
    return (p25, p50, p75)
```

Wait, let me verify with the example. With random.seed(42), I need to check if this produces (24.0, 48.0, 77.0).

Actually, let me think about this more carefully. The random module's `randint(a, b)` returns a random integer N such that a <= N <= b. So `randint(0, max_value - 1)` gives values from 0 to 99 inclusive when max_value=100.

Let me verify the sum: 13+17+18+21+32 = 101, 7+11+13+14+28 = 73, 1+5+6+8+15+16 = 51. Total = 101+73+51 = 225.

Hmm, let me recalculate: 13+17=30, +18=48, +21=69, +32=101. 7+11=18, +13=31, +14=45, +28=73. 1+5=6, +6=12, +8=20, +15=35, +16=51. Total = 101+73+51 = 225.

So we generate 225 random integers. With seed 42, numpy's percentile should give us (24.0, 48.0, 77.0).

Let me verify my implementation is correct. The key steps are:
1. Flatten T1 using itertools
2. Convert to int
3. Sum them up
4. Generate that many random integers
5. Compute percentiles with numpy

This looks correct. Let me finalize the solution.
