Buying new wheels for Evo Sport E5 cyclocross to fit slimmer tires

Bicycles Asked by Flying Swissman on June 9, 2021

I’ve read some similar posts on this topic but would like to check that I understood correctly. A replacement of my stock Tracer 700x33c tires on my Specialized Evo E5 Sport cyclocross is overdue and I’m unsure about my options.

My rims have 16.2mm internal 23mm external according to https://www.rockandroadbikes.com/products/axis-wheel-elite-disc. This means the tire I want to fit, the Continental Grand Prix 5000 TL (28 x 1.00, 25-622) will be ok. (See table in the top answer of What is the maximum or minimum tire width I can fit on my bicycle)

If I were to buy a second pair of wheels would be a second pair of the stock be a good choice?

Edit:
I edited my question after I realized that I miss read the rim to tire size coversion table in the question referenced in the comments.

Edit:
Turns out I read the table correct the first time and then changed my question for the worse.
