With this last weekend of monsoon type weather in Southern Ontario (I should've bought a new Kayak). I was riding my new bike between storms, happened to try some off the beaten path riding. Made me start to wonder how wide a tire and rim can I put on my bike its a Giant tcx1 with stock 700 X 30C. Any thoughts I'd truly appreciate them.

Thanks

You'll run out of frame clearance before you max out the capacity of your rims.
