I been running 23c tire on the rear and am going to have to bump it up to 28C. The wear is really fast with the extra 30 pounds on the bike rack( it's almost as fast as when on a trainer) and I've had a couple of pinch flats even at 140 PSI and slime tubes. The roads are pretty crappy here so the extra width should smooth things out a bit and increase the reliability.
