Hello Guest,
yes, it’s a funny ride with good grip, even on grass or (fine) gravel paths.
Not tested in wet conditions by now…
And of course are Hookworms not comfortable, I mean high pressure tires have to be inflated to their maximum 
The diameter will be a few mm’s below the 41 cm mark, here compared to 18 x 1,35" tire size:
If you are searching for comfort, you might also consider the Schwalbe Big Apple in 16 x 2,00" (ETRTO 50 - 305)

Btw, the Big Apple does have a reflective sidewall, the Hookworm not.
As mentioned already at the forum (examples below), you might have to solve two known problems;
- the magnet (mount) has to be modified for proper function,
- and there are sometimes tire mounting issues.
(Short explanation, out of experience: Original Strida 16" rims do not really good fit to extremely wide tires. Therefore it is occasionally difficult to get the tire in the correct position all around of the rim’s bead, even with a perfect trued rim would such a tire run out-of-round.
If that happens, look for an air compressor and this:

)
tires bigger than 16 x 1.50 on Strida 5.0 ?
Make wheels further apart when folded (redux)
16" custom wheels, radial 36 spoked
Maybe interesting:
Are the required parts (spacers and longer wheel bolts) available via Strida Roma?

There are less tube than tire sizes - each tube size will cover a range of tire sizes…for example Schwalbe AV 2
- for 14 x 1 3/8" up to 16 x 1,5" -
wide tires need bigger tubes!
Caution!
There’s a tire pressure limit for (plastic) LT wheels!
I’m highly interested in the magnet modification, a prototype of “wide-tire-kit” was already made:
Aluminium spacers + stainless steel wheel bolts in steps of 5 mm
Hookworms in that size can be hard to find, could you please share your source?
