You could probably run 25s if you wanted to. Don't see many 19s around. There are a few 20s and 18s were once somewhat common, but you don't see many of those these days.

It's unanimous (a rarity on this forum). It'll fit the rim perfectly. The diameter must match exactly, but there's a decent amount of latitude in width.
If you have ultra, ultra, close fork clearance it might touch at the top, but if you were riding something like that I doubt you'd be here asking.

Not to be contrary, but if the 19mm is the interior width of the rim, a 23mm tire would be too narrow (considerably) . https://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html

That was my first thought as well. But apparently the whole XRP line of wheels is narrow road racing stuff. https://www.vueltaxrpwheels.com/road.asp

[QUOTE=shouldberiding;12287497]Could be. On a pair of Mavic 700 road wheels the distance between the braking surfaces is 20m and the inside dimension is 14.5mm. I believe 19 refers to the width of the tire bead which would be the width between the grooves inside the rim.

I have a set of 19's, and I've run up to 25 with no problems.
