Hi David,

Definitely not a stupid question. I've been hanging around here long enough to know there are plenty of opinions. Your choice seems to be a reasonable and sensible one for what you have described. I believe if can accommodate the tire size you mention.

btw - welcome to CR. Everyone will want to know your last name and where you live. Especially Dale. :-)

Cheers,
