I have some 32mm Vittoria tires that measure 34mm wide @65psi, and I doubt these would fit my 2017 Roubaix.
Right. And to further clarify my earlier post when I said I didn't think the Roubaix could accept 32c tires, I got that info from a local bike shop that sells them. He told me that 28c is the largest recommended tire for the Roubaix.
