    be careful of tyre squirm though not dangerous but disconcerting when your pinning it round a fast corner.
    I took falling off bikes...and turned it into an art!

    i had tyres that wide on my combats and never had a problem with them

    not sure if freedoms are narrower then combats though :?

    Like i said they will be fine. As long as the tyres fit the frame.

    nicklouse, i know the tyres will fit the rim, im more concerned about getting a good shape, i dont want the tyre to be too rounded, and to loose the shape. have you actually tried the combination?
