I think my comments are in the "Road Wheels" thread but yes you can (actually you have to) run 15-20 PSI lower and a tyre that measures 24mm on an Open Pro is nearer 26mm on the A23. The profile is rounder with a profile less like a lightbulb because of the wider base.
My rear wheel was built like crap from the factory but since I rebuilt with Prolock nips I haven't had to touch it; nice and round and got lots of tension in it without any wobbles developing.
