700x28 Hutchinson Acrobat Tires, true to width

Wondering if anybody has a set of these mounted with a ruler nearby. :P

I'm thinking about grabbing a pair for my SS bike, but they need to be a
true 28mm to clear the skinny fenders.

I know they're a bit taller, that's just fine.

I had a set of 700x32s before and I couldn't mount 35mm fenders with them
of course--but certainly some good, take no prisoners type city tires.

There's a sale at Nashbar is why I'm interested--at 12 per, you can't beat
that (compared to something like 40 for a Schwalbe Marathon, yikes).

Currently the bike sports a set of the cheap Hutchinson Flash 700x28s,
which clear the fenders just fine and have been flat free since
October--not bad for a 5 dollar tire.
