seems we’ve gotten off topic, but I agree nonetheless.
And as far as the comment a whole ‘nother person made about never rolling a beaded tire off a rim I’d say stay within the tire manufacturers recommendations. If you put a big fat tire on a skinny little rim, a person is going to drop the pressure for bouncy roads, then their in a turn and rolling a tire off a rim. And as the Brits say - then Bobs your uncle. Believe it or don’t the engineers working on this stuff are putting some thought and math into these sizings and pressure limits.
