520 and tire question

For you 520 owners, how wide a tire can you get on your bike? I have a 2001 model and currently have Continental Touring plus 700 x 32 (622) and looking to go wider so I can use this on both pavement and rail trail pathways. I am looking at the Continental Contacts at 37-622. This model comes in a foldable version. They do offer this tire in 42-622, but not sure how wide a 520 can accept. Looking for a tire that will roll easy on pavement, but still move well on dirt / hard packed stone.
