Can you use 700x28c tires on wheels that came with 700x25c tires?

Can you use 700x28C tires on wheels that came with 700x25C tires? My bike came with wheels with 700x25C tires, but I am buying new tires and I hear 28mm tires are better for my road bicycle and cycling. Yes, more than likely a wheel that fits a 700x25c tire will fit a 28c tire.

Yes, more than likely a wheel that fits a 700x25c tire will fit a 28c tire. if I had to guess if your road bike is 10 years old or less – you probably have a rim that has a 21mm internal width. So you can run a 23c–32c tire on it without any issue.

Are 28S better than 25s on a road bike?

Yes, as long as they fit – you’ll have to check how much space you have between the current tire and the frame. I’d expect if the bike came with 25s it should fit 28s. That said, I wouldn’t rush to replace new 25s with 28s. The bigger tire has more air volume, which offers extra cushioning on a ride. I suppose that’s what you mean by “better”.
