These are actually Honjo 41's that I got from Harris Cyclery. I am told that Honjo's vary a few mm's batch to batch, so maybe they shoot for 43 and get something a bit bigger or smaller. Harris calls them 41's or maybe 40's. The Grand Bois tires measure almost exactly 30mm on my Mavic Open Pro rims, but they are relatively narrow rims and rim width affects the inflated tire width. The fenders pair well with the tires. I would not run a fatter tire, such as a 32 Pasela, with this fender. A Honjo 43 or 45 would probably be a better choice for a slightly wider tire, and I think they would fit just fine with the Paul Racer M's.
