I ran 32c Vittoria Randonneurs on my old bike and loved them. They soaked up the rough stuff and had no problem with hard pack dirt. My current bike has a set of 32c Panaracer Urban Max. These roll a bit faster and are still quite supple to absorb shock. These run well on hard pack and are only a tad more skittish when I roll through gravel. Never a problem with flats on either tire as they have puncture resistant linings. I love 32c tires. Go for it!
