The AO-8 will have ample clearance for 28mm tires, probably even 32 or 35mm. In fact, until recently I ran huge 27x1-3/8" knobbies on my UO-8.

I recommend REAL 28mm tires for your application, not the 700Cx28 Continental Ultra-2000s, which are actually about 25mm wide, that I use on my Bianchi, which does not have enough clearance for real 28mm tires, such as Specialized Armadillos.
