Tire Size Compatability

Hi

I currently have 700 x 38c tires on my hybrid that I am converting to a commuter bike... i am changing out the tires and tubes. What would be the range of tire sizes that I can change to ?

I am looking at Panaracer, Conti Gatorskinz or Marathon + and there is no exact match available. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Minimum tyre size will probably be around a 25-28 depending on the exact rim width. You'll probably have a hard time finding anything significantly more than 42/43 in a 700c size, nor would you want to anyways.
