That looks great for Actual Mud clearance. Close-fitting mudguards are a PITA on anything other than clean roads. Perhaps more relevant if you're running knobbly tyres.
If they made Paselas in 42's I would, but I don't know of anything with a similar tread pattern in a 40/42 tbh. Not flush enough for £90 a tyre Rene Herses....
Bike won't be touching mud mud over winter, just muddy lanes and stoney gravel (think new forest).

Or just run bigger tyres.
