Even the 2.35s are not very wide, dwarfed by my 2.35 Kenda Nevegals.

I really like them as a marathon tyre - but yeah, not a great general trail riding tyre.

I'm quite used to narrow tyres, bought one cheap and used it twice(second time just to confirm it really was that bad, and it wasn't just me)before giving it away. I found that even the slightest touch of the rear brake had it locking up, and found myself totally sideways far more often than i'd have liked.Try them though, you may get on fine with them, just be a bit wary until you've accustomed yourself to their traits.

definitely come up small, more like a 1.9. Just too small for me really, not enough volume.

2.4 Advantage comes up mahoosively big, IMO. got 2.3 HighRoller on the front with Advantage on the rear. a happy combo, i find.
