You are an expert programmer. Solve the task exactly as specified. Output your solution as fenced code blocks using the required file name(s) and the exact function/type signatures requested. Prefer correctness; do not include prose outside code unless asked.

To solve this problem, we need to convert elements in a tuple of tuples containing string representations of integers into integers, sum these integers to determine the size of a random list, generate this list, and then compute the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of the list.

### Approach
1. **Convert and Sum Integers**: Iterate through each tuple in the given tuple of tuples, convert each string to an integer, and sum all these integers to get the total count, which will be the size of the random list.
2. **Generate Random List**: Create a list of random integers where the size of the list is equal to the total count obtained in the previous step. Each integer in this list is generated between 0 and the given `max_value` (exclusive).
3. **Compute Percentiles**: Use numpy's percentile function to compute the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of the generated list of random integers.

### Solution Code
```python
import numpy as np
import itertools
import random

def task_func(T1, max_value=100):
    # Convert all string representations of integers in T1 to integers and sum them
    total = sum(int(num) for t in T1 for num in t)
    
    # Generate a list of 'total' random integers between 0 and max_value - 1
    random_list = [random.randint(0, max_value - 1) for _ in range(total)]
    
    # Convert the list to a numpy array for efficient percentile calculation
    arr = np.array(random_list)
    
    # Calculate the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles
    p25 = np.percentile(arr, 25)
    p50 = np.percentile(arr, 50)
    p75 = np.percentile(arr, 75)
    
    return (p25, p50, p75)
```

### Explanation
1. **Conversion and Summation**: The function starts by converting each string in the nested tuples to an integer and summing them all. This total sum determines the size of the random list to be generated.
2. **Random List Generation**: Using the total sum, a list of random integers is generated where each integer is between 0 and `max_value - 1`.
3. **Percentile Calculation**: The generated list is converted into a numpy array to efficiently compute the required percentiles using numpy's `percentile` function. The function returns these percentiles as a tuple.

This approach ensures that we efficiently handle the conversion, summation, and random number generation, leveraging numpy for quick percentile calculations.

Okay, I need to solve this Python problem. Let's read the task carefully.

The function is called task_func, and it takes T1 and max_value as parameters. T1 is a tuple of tuples containing string representations of integers. The goal is to convert these strings to integers, sum them all, create a list of random integers of that sum's size, and then find the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of this list.

First, I need to process T1. Each element in the tuples is a string, so I'll convert each to an integer. Then, sum all these integers to get the total, which determines the size of the random list.

Wait, no. Wait, the sum of these integers is the size of the list. So for each tuple in T1, each element is a string, convert to int, sum all of them across all tuples, and that sum is the number of random integers to generate.

So step by step:

1. Iterate through each tuple in T1.
2. For each tuple, iterate through each string, convert to int.
3. Sum all these integers to get the total count, let's call it n.
4. Generate a list of n random integers, each between 0 and max_value (exclusive).
5. Compute the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of this list.

Now, how to compute the percentiles. Since we're using numpy, I can use numpy's percentile function. But I need to make sure the list is properly handled.

Wait, but the example shows that the output is (24.0, 48.0, 77.0). Let's see the example:

In the example, T1 is a tuple of three tuples. Let's compute the sum.

First tuple: '13','17','18','21','32' → 13+17=30, +18=48, +21=69, +32=101.
Second tuple: '07','11','13','14','28' → 7+11=18, +13=31, +14=45, +28=73. Sum is 101+73=174.
Third tuple: '01','05','06','08','15','16' → 1+5=6, +6=12, +8=20, +15=35, +16=51. Sum is 174+51=225.

So n is 225. Then, generate 225 random integers between 0 and 100.

In the example, after generating, the percentiles are 24, 48, 77. So the function returns a tuple of these values.

So, the steps are clear.

Now, let's think about the code.

First, process T1 to get the sum:

sum_ints = sum(int(num) for t in T1 for num in t)

Then, generate a list of random integers. Since the size is sum_ints, and each is between 0 and max_value (exclusive), we can use random.randint(0, max_value-1) for each, but more efficiently, perhaps using numpy's random functions.

Wait, but for a large sum_ints, using a list comprehension with random.randint might be slow. Alternatively, using numpy's random functions could be more efficient.

But the allowed libraries include random and numpy, so either approach is acceptable.

So, for generating the list:

import random

random_list = [random.randint(0, max_value - 1) for _ in range(sum_ints)]

Alternatively, using numpy:

import numpy as np

random_list = np.random.randint(0, max_value, sum_ints)

But wait, the function is supposed to return the percentiles as a tuple of floats. So using numpy's percentile function is efficient.

So, after generating the list, we can convert it to a numpy array, then compute the percentiles.

Putting it all together:

def task_func(T1, max_value=100):
    # Convert all strings in T1 to integers and sum them
    total = sum(int(num) for t in T1 for num in t)
    
    # Generate a list of 'total' random integers between 0 and max_value-1
    random_list = [random.randint(0, max_value - 1) for _ in range(total)]
    
    # Convert to numpy array for efficient percentile calculation
    arr = np.array(random_list)
    
    # Compute the percentiles
    p25 = np.percentile(arr, 25)
    p50 = np.percentile(arr, 50)
    p75 = np.percentile(arr, 75)
    
    return (p25, p50, p75)

Wait, but in the example, the output is (24.0, 48.0, 77.0). Let me see: when the list is generated, the percentiles are calculated correctly.

But wait, what if the list is empty? Well, according to the problem statement, T1 is a tuple of tuples of strings, which are integers. So sum_ints could be zero only if all elements are zero. But in that case, the list would be empty, and percentiles would be undefined. But the problem probably assumes that T1 has at least one non-zero element.

Now, testing the example:

In the example, after summing, total is 225. Then, random_list is 225 numbers between 0 and 99. Then, the percentiles are computed.

But wait, in the example, the output is (24.0, 48.0, 77.0). So the code should return these values when run with the given T1 and max_value=100.

But wait, in the code, the random seed is set to 42 in the example. So the code should reproduce that.

Wait, but in the function, the random module is used, but the function doesn't set the seed. So, the function's output will vary unless the seed is set. But the function is supposed to return the correct percentiles for the given T1 and max_value, but since the random numbers are generated, the function's output will vary each time unless the seed is fixed.

But in the problem statement, the example shows that with a seed of 42, the output is as given. So the function, when called with T1 and max_value=100, should return those values when the random seed is 42.

But the function itself doesn't set the seed, so the user is responsible for that. So the function is correct as written.

Wait, but in the function, the random numbers are generated using the standard random module's randint. Alternatively, using numpy's random functions might be more efficient, but the code as written is correct.

Wait, but in the code, the random_list is a Python list. When converted to a numpy array, the percentiles are computed correctly.

So, the code should work.

But wait, in the function, the parameters are T1 and max_value=100. So the function signature is correct.

But wait, in the function, the sum is computed correctly. Let me test with the example.

In the example, T1 is:

(('13', '17', '18', '21', '32'), ('07', '11', '13', '14', '28'), ('01', '05', '06', '08', '15', '16'))

Sum is 13+17+18+21+32 = 101, plus 7+11+13+14+28=73, total 174, plus 1+5+6+8+15+16=51, total 174+51=225.

So the list has 225 elements.

Then, with max_value=100, the random numbers are between 0 and 99.

In the example, after generating, the percentiles are 24, 48, 77.

So the code should return these when the seed is 42.

But in the function, the seed isn't set, so the function's output will vary unless the seed is set externally.

But the function is correct as it's supposed to return the percentiles based on the generated list.

So the code seems correct.

Wait, but in the function, the random_list is generated as a list of integers. Then, when converted to a numpy array, the percentiles are computed correctly.

Yes.

So the code should be as follows.

Wait, but in the function, the code is written as:

random_list = [random.randint(0, max_value - 1) for _ in range(total)]

But wait, the function's max_value is the upper bound, exclusive. So for example, if max_value is 100, the numbers are 0-99.

Yes, that's correct.

So, the code should be correct.

Wait, but in the function, the sum is computed correctly. Let me think about the sum.

Yes, for each tuple in T1, each string is converted to int, and all are summed.

So, the code is correct.

Now, what about the return type? The function returns a tuple of floats, as the percentiles are floats.

Yes.

So, the code should be correct.
