Is 700x28 a good option? Likely order those.
Make sure they're going to fit before you order them.
I've had good luck with KHS bikes. Had a steel road bike and 2 mountain bikes. You can write to them on their web site and they'll take care of you.

If those are 105 brakes where the shift cable comes out of the top, instead of being hidden, the brakes will require a little more effort than some. They have good power, just need strong hands if you're on the hoods. You could slide in some fresh pads, might help.

That is a long top tube, I prefer 590. A shorter stem might be more comfortable.
