I put a 32 Nokian on the front of a non-DLX Soho with no trouble. I didn't dare try the back wheel because it was such a headache to remove and replace the first time I did it. I'm sure other have mastered the art, but I never did and moreover didn't want to carry the extra tools to do so. Living in fear of flats is one of the main reasons I don't ride it anymore (the other being the awful, awful roller brakes on the non-DLX version). I have a Sturmey0Archer drum brake on a different bike, and it is a completely different animal.
