Can I fit 28mm Tyres on 23mm rims?

If the rim has a 23mm external width and an internal width between 15-20.9mm, it can accept a 28mm tire. The pros of switching to a 28mm tire are a softer ride, greater roll-over ability, improved traction, and fewer chances of a trapped wheel.

Are 28mm tyres more comfortable?

Do wider bike tires slow you down?

Yes. This is because, at the equal pressure, the casing tension of the wider tyre is higher and the contact patch is shorter and wider. The first of these factors means less energy is lost to casing flex, and the second reduces rolling resistance because the shorter, wider contact patch reduces frictional losses.
