The Vitus itself may ride compliant enough to make up for the fork. I've never ridden one so perhaps you are correct and the frame is soft enough to make up for the fork. Maybe the best choice is to ride and try. I'd stay away from 19 tires though - probably start out with at least 25's.

All my tires are 23mm. My rile of thumb is to pump no more then 100-110 lbs into my tires if I were going out for a long ride that last more then 3 hours (automatic suspension) Unless I was going out with the hammerheads then I would need all the advantage I can even If I had to ride a rock. I have been riding continental GP4000, I don't know what's the latest and the greatest, they have been by far the best feeling tires that does not ride like rock while pumped to the max. Cheap tires with stiff sidewalls, no thanks.
