Sounds like you're describing a Contend / Domane
Don’t really recommend fitting biggest tyres you can even bike is optimised for says 32mm.
It’s better off going for a gravel bike that’s more toward endurance geometry that will handle great with skinnier tyres and equally as good with larger tyres.
Checkpoint, Crux, Revolt to name but a few.

What’s the forum approved “gravel bike most likely to get called a road bike”?
I pay off the MTB in 3 months time, so my diseased brain is already looking forward to replacing the gravel bike. I love my giant tcx, but I would like something that doesn’t have a press fit bottom bracket because they are stupid. Budget roughly 2.5k, don’t need clearance beyond 40mm, would prefer light and nippy over lots of mounting points and steel forks etc. Oh and needs to be eligible for cyclescheme.
