Managed to squeeze on some kenda 2.35s for a snowdon trip - stayed on ok... am I likely to die long term ? Guess I am pushing it twith these tyres... did work superbly though !

any opinions welcome
cheers

I used to run 2.35 High Rollers without problem, tubeless too down to around 25psi

I've used 2.25 Advantage without a problem, and they're a huge tyre.

2.4" Advantage was too far (they're whoppers though)

The Mavic website says 2.1, but the sticker on teh side of mine said 2.3- bit odd.

Then o'course there's tyre size randomness. 2.35 Kenda is usually pretty close to 2.35. 2.35 Highrollers, closer to 2.1 than 2.35. I ran 2.35 Bluegrooves and Nevegals on mine and never had any problems.

As for Advantages being huge- 2.4 Advantage is slightly [i]under [/i]the claimed size. Though they're fairly tall. They only look big because we're used to being fibbed to.

Yeah I reckon the 2.1 Kendas are about right - they're big for they're stated size.

The Blue Groove / Nevegal was my first working combo.

I've run 2.3 on them before but the tyres roll when cornering hard. Generally stuck to a 2.1
