Some of the tire brands are very sensitive to over inflation. And I ride 90% of the time on pavement, but many times on rough or broken pavement. 28s is the perfect size for my riding habits. I inflate my tires to 68r and 60f and some of the other brands will not hold these pressures. I was riding my Compass 32c extralights with tubes at 55f and 50r.I could have purchased Compass 35c, but one of my bike's clearance between the chain stays would have been a little tight. My Roadeo would have been fine with 35s but my Rex needed to have the chainstays widened and I really didn't feel the need for a tire wider than a 28.
