    Whew lad, +41 with 175s is going to be close for sure

        Yeah I can tell it will be close just by feeling the inner sidewall. Before I replace them I'll stick them on just to see. Thanks for all the warnings and suggestions. Already have the Achilles saved in my Amazon Wish List.

          Besides which the 155s will actually grip better. More force per square inch of contact. The Festy rear is too light for tires wider than 165mm to be of any use, unless you regularly use it to carry heavy loads like car batteries or gold bars.
