Weight wise they should be fine (28mm is wide for a road bike) but you may need to run them at a higher pressure (within the limits).

There are plenty of online tyre pressure calculators. I can't share links yet but the first one I found on good thinks that you should be running at 104psi (250lb is 113kg).
not sure how old the tires are but they need to be replaced as they are worn badly and you can see the threads in some spots. I already ordered new tires from Bicycle Warehouse online and they were shipped today so I should have them soon.

These are the tires I just bought
