I went with 180's on the ogre. I can't compare to anything due to lack of experience. Pedal strike hasn't been an issue but my riding conditions are casual. With the steerer extended the handling is a bit twitchier though and I'm still sorting out the bars and positioning. I just ordered some larger Nitto bars to try. Getting closer to settled but it has been annoying going through parts in the process.
