oki guys i am changing my tires on my Venge 2019 - after some researching i decided to keep to my tubes. Roads here are not bad in general - only a few spots with bad asphalt

now question should i keep to 28-25 as i have now (conti gp 5000) or move to 28-28 or even 30-28?

Are you saying the rear would be the more naerow tire? Most ppl put the narrower tire on the front.

I'd go 28/28 or 30/30 or try 30/32 (32 rear)

What wheels do you have (what's the internal width)? What are you optimising?

Internal is 21mm optimize for comfort and speed. Effectively asking whether makes sense to go to 30 in the back?

For comfort & speed - I'd go 28-30.
For speed - I'd go 25-28.
For comfort - I'd go 30-30, tubeless.

Looks like 28mm will cover both speed and comfort.
