Could someone tell how they compare to their stated sizes please - ie is the 2.1" an actual 2.1" or more or less?

Also can anyone recommend them for typical riding in Greece? - (loose, dry and dusty all summer).

Thanks !

I have a feeling they come up standard/slightly large compared to normal (what is normal). And with regards to working for those conditions... they were designed for those conditions, you should be fine!

Just measured a 2.1" on a Stans 355 @35psi
comes out at 2 1/16" so pretty close to stated size

Depends on what you are comparing it to. IMO they are 'real' 2.1's - they are big compared to old-school Maxxis and Continental (e.g. High-Rollers and Mountain Kings).

2.35's come up pretty big and are a great trail centre/hardpack tyre.

I also have the 2.1's in a 29er flavour which i am yet to use in anger - put on for Mayhem last year and then taken straight off once i tried the 2.35's in the mud on a practise lap.

A vernier gauge

Fair enough... of course the width will vary slightly depending on rim-width...
