probably no advantage. just thinking about trying 28mm to see if the vibration is cut off the front end some, the rear is not the problem. if 28mm works in front, then the rear will wear out in time and need changing. good time to change to 28mm.
this would also be a good time to try different brands on the front without changing tires on the whole bike which may be disappointing.
at the moment i have quite a few 25mm tires on the shelf so really don't need tires, been hoping to tame my road bike vibrations some. 28mm may just do it. no doubt many here have a few skinny tires on the shelf, so how to make the best of it perhaps is to experiment with the steering a bit.
