I have more experience than you do. I've fixed thousands of other people's bikes. Tire sizes vary from their ratings. This is where theory and practice diverge. Read all you want, but take measurements also.
Like I said, I like you, but I always discount everyone's advice if it doesn't come with quantifiable measurement.
So far, in this thread there is one and I plan to add some. It would be nice if others did the same for HS 420 (as that's what I'm commenting on and have commented on from the beginning compared to other people referring to decades of experience.). Not all tyres or not even all Schwalbe tyres just the HS 420, which I own.
