I think it may be worth a shot since tires are relatively inexpensive. Is there any caution against mounting 32 or 35 tires onto an 19mm rim? My bike came with DT Swiss P1800 splines. What advantages would I have to getting a wider rim down the road if I wanted a dedicated entry-level gravel set? Do wider rims mean even lower pressures?
you are fine. We used to mountain bike race in 19mm rims back in the day.
Try the Conti Terraspeed 35mm as I hear they run a little small (and they are fast).
