... The Rhyno Lite would be well-matched with a 1.3" to 1.5" wide tire. If you were going wider (say, 1.75" to 2.1"😉, a Sun Big City rim might be a better match. I've ridden with Screamer teams that rode on 28mm wide Continental front tires....
Do these people have a death wish, or are they both very small people? I found the 28-406 Conti GP to be a marginal tire on the REAR of a single recumbent, and a 32-406 Primo Comet to be marginal on the front of a RANS Rocket. One decent hit on a pothole or a larger piece of gravel at speed on the Screamer will have the Conti GP pinch flatted, and the bike will almost certainly go down after that. Yikes.

Well, both riders were smaller than me... but that goes for 99% of the people in the U.S. The captain was average size- 5-foot-9, IIRC. He was also an airline pilot (and claimed to be ex-Air Force), so he had some smarts. As far as I can tell he's still around, but I haven't ridden with them for a couple years.
I agree that the Continental isn't a good choice for a tandem. I never saw it fail, though.
