Next week I'm collecting a bike that has Xero XSD29 Rims coupled with Maxxis
Detonator 28C rubber.
I'm looking to get some extra tyres/tubes so that I can take the bike on
muddier trax as the provided tyres are virtually slicks, also, I wouldn't
mind if I could increase the tyres to 32's or similar.
Do any knowledgeable types that reside here know of such tyres that would
safely fit my rims and be the answer to my prayers?

Your frame will probably only take the narrower MTB slicks because of the space between fork blades and between the chain stays and fitting MTB wheels with tyres of the same section as you have now will lower the bike nearly 20mm which may or may not matter depending on the present bottom bracket height, the crank length and the type of gearing - fixed wheel needs more height than freewheel. ...
