    28mm 4000s will fit on the

    28mm 4000s will fit on the rim no problem, they’ll be 32mm+ so whether they will fit in your frame depends on how big your clearances are, the 25mm will be 28mm+ if the 28mms (32mm+) don’t fit in your frame.

    The 4 Seasons isn’t a great

    The 4 Seasons isn’t a great sportive tyre, they have quite a high rolling resistance, they’re far better suited to winter riding on icy roads. The Grand Prix GT is a far better option, they’re pretty much designed as a sportive tyre.

    Can’t comment on 4 Seasons

    Can’t comment on 4 Seasons but I have an E5 fitted with Roubaix 30/32. They roll better than stock Espoir tyres but are still tough enough for light to medium gravel (I believe they were designed for cobbles) – I’d be happy to do a spotive on them.

    I have 32c 4 Seasons on mine,
    I have 32c 4 Seasons on mine, as I use mine on a wide variety of surfaces. I doubt there is much in it speed wise between 28c and 32c, so I go for comfort.
