Regarding width, I prefer 25mm tires most of the time, but a lot of people seem to like wider tires, so maybe you should get the 28's and see if you like them better. If I only had one bike, it would have fenders, so if I had your bike, I would run 25's.
Thanks, I forgot to mention I have 2 bikes. Generally I use an other bike which is equipped with disc brakes when it rains and the Trek (rim brakes) when the weather is fine. I live in Belgium so the weather can change very quickly but it doesn't really matter I would rarely start my ride with the Trek + fenders.
Concerning speed and rolling resistance are the 25 and 28 equivalent?
