Just to reiterate widest tires that will work with your frame, check the rim for any damage or poking spokes, get a new rim strip (ideally cloth like Newbaum's or Fond de Jante) and get a proper pressure gauge ideally get a pump that is easy to use and pump with some regularity.
I am also a Clyde and pretty much all of my bikes are crammed with the widest tires. I have one bike that is stuck with 25c tires and I don't ride the bike that often because of that (but won't get rid of it because of what it is). Beyond that everything else is 28 and ideally way more. Skinny tire bikes need to go away (which they are for the most part)
