That tire is a little cheaper on amazon. It appears specs a 42mm . I've frame ,fork clearance ( tons) just a question of whether one would run that tire on a 22 mm ID rim . One thing for sure will be running a fairly low PSI . 130 lbs rider, dressed.

Of course your rims aren't tubeless ready. This bike is a price-point hybrid. Two more mm of tire width isn't going to make a bit of difference on your rims. And here's the tire marked down at biketiresdirect.com. https://www.biketiresdirect.com/prod...vel-tire?fltr=
This is a standup company, I've used them before, and I recommend them even if they might be a couple bucks more than your Amazon seller. But suit yourself.
