The Clem takes up to 60mm/2.4" tires, but with your fenders which are likely P50's(about 53-54 actual) the Big Ben 50's(46 or so actual) fit fine. I bought the BB over the Big Apples just for the extra tread and lifespan. Trust me, the tread does little if anything for traction on the road and nothing for off road. As I said they roll with ease ! It's a BA with 50 grams more rubber.
