I don't have any links for you, just a comparison. I run a 700x28c tire on a bike that I use for light touring - as in it carries me plus 2 rear panniers. When I use that same bike for camping trips, I carry 4 panniers and I switch to a 700x32c tire.

So a 28 seems a bit wide (to me) for road riding.
