Hi All

Looking for some suggestions/guidance on switching the tires on my gravel bike (700c x 38mm Panaracer GravelKing SK tyres) to road tires.
I am looking to do more road cycling this summer so want both options as have already noticed a lot more resistance when out cycling with my friends on 'road' tires.

Would it be better to just change tires when I need to (local bike shop suggested fitting 28mm on existing rims) or better to get another set of wheels with road tires installed? Seems like a faster, albeit more expensive, option.

If the latter, then what are some tips/watch-outs for buying a 2nd set of wheels?
If I go second hand what do I need to look for?
Do I need to get matching disc brakes and rear cassette?
Current bike is Boardman 9.0 ADV.

Thank you!
