[Closed] Cotic Roadrat - How fat and knobbly can I go?

Currently running the Roadrat as a sort of fixed 29er and finding it an absolute blast.

I've got Schwalbe Smart Sams in I think 45mm.

Does anyone know of anything of similar or slightly larger size with a more agressive tread?

Could go a bit bigger on the front but not much to play with at the back.

Cheers

Interesting.

I found a post about these tyres from about a year ago on here but couldn't find them on the Cotic site.

Do you know what they are called? And will they really fit in the back?

Cheers.

Would be interested to know if there are other brands peopel have tried, mind.
