How much range in tube sizes can you have before you start running into problems? e.g. if I have a 17x2.75 will it be fine to use that in a 17x2.5? 17x3? What about a 18x2.5? I've wondered this about the tubes since SomeGuyRides had his 3 flats and I went down the rabbit hole of looking at tube data.
In bicycles you can usually go up one size, down one size, same ERTO (rim size) and you're usually good. I'm assuming it's probably about the same, but I want to double check in case I decide to go 17x2.5 / 17x3 Shinko 244's with 17x2.75 tubes in both.
