    My Dahon Jifo currently has Kenda K177 16" X 1.2 tyres on it. Every week or so tyres get flat I was looking for a better alternative. Schwalbe marathon plus has a good puncture protection but they don't make the size mentioned above. Yet there is schwalbe KOJAK which has reasonable level of protection certainly better than my current ones but the KOJAK size is 16" X 1.25 which is 0.5 inch (1.27cm) bigger than what I need. I wonder would it be worth give it a try or it's absolutely no no?

    It's 0.05 inch wider, not 0.5 inch. Should be fine.
