+1 Measure the clearances all around and see how much room you have. I'd be very surprised if you can even go to 700x28 considering you have a sports road bike and they aren't usually designed for big tires. If you plan to commute year round, a casual (not serious racing) cyclocross frame would be much more versatile as they will usually take wide tires and even wide tires with fenders.
