Tire width for Spec Roubaix

Earlier this year I ran into problems buying tires for my bike and ended up buying a set that my lbs had in stock. The only downside is they are 25mm and are rated to be inflated to 110psi. The ride is harsh. They are Vittorio Rubino Pro tires so they aren’t bad tires.
I have been thinking about getting wider tires
my bike is a 2013 Specialized Roubaix Comp. It has the original DT Swiss 3.0 rims. Rim brakes.
I have had 28mm tires on it with no problems. I am thinking about getting 30mm tires. From searches on the web it looks like they will fit.
Most of my riding will be on a paved mup or street but if I find a gravel track I might be tempted.
Has anyone put 30mm tires on this model bike? Any reason to not try?
