Tire Replacement on Mavic T217

We have been using the Avocet Fasgrip 28mm tires on our Co-Motion Cappucino for the last 4 years and have been satisfied with them at 295 gms. and 26mm actual width. Considering our total weight at 330 lbs., is the Michelin 25mm Pro Race an acceptable substitute? We mostly do credit card touring and very seldom use our panniers. After reading how dead the Gator and other tires feel, we want to keep or enhance the responsiveness the Fasgrips had. Are there any actual tire width/weight facts out there and what is the narrowest tire we can run on the T217? Mark, Rudy?

Thanks, Neil
