    It is on the limit - possibility they may roll off the rim at low pressures.

    Thanks Supersonic, guess I sort of felt that might be the case but was hoping someone might say "they'll be fine". The dilema now is, do I ride even more slowly than usual, waiting for them to come off the rims, :roll: (not easy), or bite the bullet and buy the right sized tyres? Thanks again, Paul.

    you may also find the chain catches on the tyre.
