Looked at a hybrid bike today with 700x32c tires (Kenda Kwick Trax w/ puncture resistant K-shield). They looked fairly skinny, but I'm used to mountain bike tires, so my point of reference is a bit skewed.
Are these tires suitable for occasional off-pavement ride? We're talking fairly smooth limestone, fine gravel type surfaces. Or should I be looking at 700x40 tires instead?
The bike in question is Diamondback Insight 2:

Can it be fitted with 700x40 tires? Any opinions on this bike?
I already have a mountain bike, so I'm looking for a second bike that's closer to a road bike, but not quite, as the trails I take aren't always 100% smooth pavement.
