Some 28's aren't very heavy. Nashbar has Continental Ultra2000 folding 28's that list at just 240 grams each, which is only about one ounce more per tire Conti's all-out 700x23 racing tires. Not a bad compromise for a daily-driver performance tire.

These are the German-made Contis, too, not the cheap bastage Contis from Thailand/wherever. $25 each, and if I'd been listening to The Voices I would've ordered them back when they were $20 each
