I have 32s on my hybrid currently and haven't experienced any stability issues but I ride mostly paved paths. I am also currently considering upgrading my tires soon and will likely go to even narrower tires - 28s or possible even 25s depending which manufacturer I go with. I don't have any personal experience on anything less than the 32s I have been riding on but I have been discussing it with others who do have experience on another thread and no one has cautioned me regarding stability concerns. Hope this helps!
