Tire recommendation for a 150-200km challenge

Hello,

I'm looking for a tire for a 150 to 200km challenge. I'm training 3 times per week on shorter distances (50-100km) aswell. The bike is a TREK Domane AL2 which came equipped with 25mm tires when I bought it (2021 model) and is now offered with 28mm as standard (for 2022). Stock tires are ok but I discovered cuts in the rear tire so it may need a replacement.

Most important for me (in this order) is
- ride comfort and feel
- versatility: smooth/rough roads, dry/wet, summer/winter riding -even if I will mostly ride in the dry, on average roads and about 5 to 20°C temperatures (=40-70°F)-
- durability
- rolling resistance
- weight

Do you have any suggestion? Do you think it's worth switching for 28mm tires (rather than 25mm) and latex tubes?

Many thanks,
Eric
