Hugh, I am riding 650B x 42 BSPs on those Pacenti Brevet rims and it's taken me some time to get used to the smoothness they can provide without delving below the PSI necessary to keep the sidewalls structural enough for quick steering changes and high pedal efforts during a turn. I had to learn this envelope with the 700 x 32 Stampede Pass on my Rambouillet too.
I can't imagine how badly a 55mm wide tire's sidewall would luff if I unknowingly got below that structure supporting pressure with them. I don't have experience with any wider tires on the Brevets, just the memory of summer 1988 in southwest Colorado and a new pair of Specialized HardPack 2.2 (not the neutered HardPack II) tires. They provided me the baseline education regarding what is "just enough" PSI and how your intended riding dictates that, not your thumb, the pump dial or a couple of leans on the handlebar with the front brakes clamped. Ouch. Continental Divide decent ouch.
