Road tire prices remain stubbornly high, criminal. I refuse to pay $$$ for Conti GP 5k TR, have gone to Pirelli P Zero and Maxxis High Road TR, buy from places like Bikeinn
"the 28mm transparent version of the Grand Prix 5000 S TR rolls significantly slower than the version with black sidewalls. Our 28mm transparent sample is also considerably heavier than our 28mm black sidewall sample, resulting in a rolling resistance that increases by more than 20% at the lowest tire pressures. "
If your bike can fit 30's I'd highly recommend using those. I have 28c and 30c tires and prefer 30c. They are just as fast or faster and more comfortable.

I'll take to the bike shop and ask them tomorrow (if this is still for sale). Thanks for the recommendation.

My triathlon bike doesn't fit bigger than 25. Difference is noticeable.

700x30 is hard to find for a decent price. This is great.
No, margin difference and may even be slower.
