I have a Windsor Tourist. I find the 700x32 good for smoother gravel and any paved road but not for trails or washed-out gravel conditions.
I use a 700x38 Schwalbe Marathon Cross for wet or washed-out gravel and trail conditions with good results.
BTW, the 700x38 is a tight fit. I would not want to use a larger sized tire on the Windsor Tourist.
