Bike tires for a touring bike

[Bob Gregg]

I've a rapid tour version of a Serotta Concours on order. My intension was to use 700-32C tires on it but might like to use 700-28C or the rarer 700-30C tires to reduce rolling resistance (but at expence of a harsher ride.) Any thoughts? FYI: I weigh about 200 lbs.

Thanks,
Bob

I used the Conti Top Touring tires (both in 700x28 and 32) on my Trek 540 and loved them. No flats, they seem to last forever and they had very good grip in sketchy conditions. (I weigh 205 +/-)
