Keep in mind that I have 28mm tires that measure from 27mm to 31mm (from the same mfg). So if your bike fits "28mm" tires, it may not fit all of them. Go figure.
Some good swift commuting tires: Panaracer pasela, Continental Gatorskin or 4 season.
If you want something tougher and longer lasting (but heavier and slower) Thick Slicks are kinda fun. The 28mm version of that tire is pretty thicc! (its over 30mm easily).
Thanks man, yes I guess the best option is to buy some try them one and return them if they don't fit. Why do you say I don't need any threading? isn't threading good for rainy days?
I am not gonna be racing or really don't care thattt much about half a pound more I would like to use ones which last a bit (so I don't have to change them often)
