I have rode my bike a few times since the crash and the tires are seemingly having an impact on my psyche and I'd feel better on the bike with something a bit more substantial under me. My usual rides are 15-25 ​​​miles 3-5 times a week on paved roads, city streets, and park bike loops. When I put together longer rides of 35-100+ miles once or twice a month, they are done on crushed limestone rail trails with some loose big gravel segments. I am currently running 700x30 no tread out of the box tires. I like the 30s but wouldn't be opposed to 32s if it wouldn't affect my overall pace and make the bike feel slughish. I mainly am looking to stay light, quiet, and fast on the roads with more stability, but also have a little more bite into the gravel paths as well. Can't run tubeless with my rims. I've looked at so many tires and my brain decided some input on the matter was necessary, so thanks for any help in advance!
