Is anyone running these?

This review (https://www.cxmagazine.com/soma-fab-shikoro-road-gravel-tire-38c-panaracer) says they run a few mm under size on 17.5 ID rims, but I'm wondering if they expand with more miles on them.

I've had them on my Roadini for several months. TB14 rims (17.5 ID). They measure 36mm. Riv's page for this item notes that they all tend to measure about 2mm smaller than listed. I like these tires a lot. They roll nice and smooth and I don't have to worry about flats.

I can confirm that my 700c x 38mm Shikoro tires are 35mm on Velocity A23 rims.   I only have about 100 miles on them at this point, however.
