May be splitting hairs here, but I'm going from 700X32 to 700X28 Schwalbe Marathon tires on my flat bar road bike. I only ride this bike on pavement.

Will I notice a difference (less) in rolling resistance?

Will it handle any better or worse?

Thanks.

Please report back if you notice a difference. You'll be able to answer those questions after you ride the new tires.
