I can't answer your Trek questions, but I've got 700x26mm road tires on my road bike
(sport-tourer I think), and they work fine for occasional mud or light dirt trail riding.
I do have full fenders, which are a tricky fit on most road bikes, but very nice when it's
wet or muddy, and I have room for bigger tires (not sure how much would tire fit under
the fenders though), but no need.
