Not tried it in a 2.2 but I’d expect the increased width would make it a worse real-mud tyre and more all-round,
Yep exactly my experience having run a 2.25 on the front and a 2.0 (29er) on the back, last winter, and I’m happy with a more “all round” tyre as not all my trails are pure mud. I’ve had a set of trailrakers (26er) and they must be up there amongst the best mud tyres available BUT absolutely SHITE everywhere else, being draggy on hardpack, and no grip on slimey stuff (rock/roots).

Beavers or Mud X’s deviant.. both great tyres IMHO
Cheers, i’ll go Beavers, i like the softer compounds Maxxis tend to use
I’d definitely suggest the Maxxis Beaver are a softer compound over the Mud-X, having worn my rear pretty badly over one winter, where-as as above I’ve run Mud-x for several winters or all year round. This is a something I can live with, as I equate it to having more grip
