No idea, but I'm always leery when deviating from manufacturer's recommendations, for obvious reasons.

Have to agree stick with the factory tyre sizes in case of clearance issues

are you running out of tire in turns? Is the wider tire also taller?

In the 16" size... id highly recommend the BT45. Really good tire!
