Mine measured 28 mm on the erstwhile Weinmann Concaves and, now, 29 mm on the Alex DH 19s scavenged from the Monocog. They have a roundish profile and roll as well as any Pasela I've used, 559 or 622. I wonder if yours are some older (or possibly newer) and inferior model?
All in all I can't say that they are better than the Paselas (except that my fewer flats with them may possibly be due to better flat resistance) but nor can I say that the versa is true, either. I am debating the GBs in the 28 mm size (who could possibly want wider for pavement? It boggles the mind. Anyway.) but I am not sure that I ought to put more $$ into that already metastasizing beater bike project (tho' it has turned out to be a very nice beater; I just swapped the 18 t cog and 44 t Cyclotourist for a 17/20 Dingle and 42 t mid '80s Stronglight for a 56" gear to complement the 66" gear on those days I am feeling wimpy and cold, load, wind and hills conspire with age to discourage me).
