I used 700 x 28 on limestone and changed to 32 because of deterioration of the limestone trail. May be a local problem. Lots of loose sand. Very dangerous at higher speed also if wet. We had a bad accident with a Tandem on that and that made me more careful.
The 32 has lower pressure and more profile. Much safer. I used Bontrager with good results for many years.
There is nothing wrong with Continental or Schwalbe either. They are all quality tires.
