If you can't get enough traction there to pull the tire off, you probably won't find it on the dirt either. Plus, the penalty for failure is minimized on nice soft grass.
Thanks!

I just talked to a guy at a LBS and he told me that there shouldn't be an issue fitting the tire into my rim. The distance between the beads on the rim is 15c and he said that I could mount up to 45c tires on without too much trouble.

Anybody else have input?
