Giant Defy Advanced tyre clearance?

[timnoyce]

So, I've got a new Giant Defy Advanced disc coming on Monday but I wanted to preorder some new tyres as I can only imagine that the giant ones will be next to useless for commuting in the current conditions.

Anyone in the know about max tyre size? It ships with 25 and am certain that a 28 will fit but wondering if I could get away with a beefy 32?

PH collective. Whaddya reckon?

I'd be ordering 28. You might get one of the bigger 28s on, but I'd be surprised if 32 was ok.

Blimey 32mm! I reckon no chance even 28s might be an ask

Then again its disk and normally its the brake rim calliper on my bikes that have stopped bigger tyres, but on the Giant the front Fork looks like it could catch

Nice looking bike

Edit: These reviews suggest that it officially can take 28s so 32 maybe, very maybe:

Clearance looked pretty good but I stupidly didn't take a vernier or rule to measure up in the shop.
