Any indication of whether the tire profile height changed? One of my concerns is whether the wider rim will allow more or less tire clearance between tread and brake calipers. It's already extremely tight with 25's. If I lost any clearance it would be a deal killer. Likewise, if I gained enough to allow 28's it would help justify the decission, regardless of other factors.
