I saw a recent video online (GCN I think, can't find it now) about somebody who wore a hole in their frame due a using a tire that just barely fit. Something that is very close on the bike stand may actually be contacting the frame when riding due to bending of the frame when going over bumps or other factors . Some clearance is important. For some extra comfort, maybe try a suspension seat post, a saddle with springs, or double wrap bar tape. If it's not a race, the performance losses are minimal. | |

A few mm may not be enough, as the tyre may bulge when under load - you sitting on the bike - and bind again. 25mm tyres would be the better option. I used to ride 23-25mm tyres all winter in the UK. | |
