Hey Chaps,
Do the 2.6 Magic Mary and Hans Dampf come up as 2.6 or less? Are they bigger than Maxxis' 2.6 tyres, that come up as 2.4?
I've got a Ardent Race and Forecaster in 2.6 and they're basically the same size as my 2.35 Marys.
Cheers!

Mary 2.6 is just over 2.5 on a 30mm internal rim.
Excellent tyre, notably better than the 2.35 IMO.
The detail depends on your rims and choice of sidewall.
I've got a 2.35 MM and 2.5 DHR-2 on the same (27mm) rims and the MM is wider but also a different shape.
Simple rule of thumb "Are they bigger than Maxxis’ 2.6 tyres, that come up as 2.4?" YES....
My Mary 2.6 on 30 mm rim is 65 mm. I also had a DHF 2.5 on the same rim and it was 1 mm wider.
Edit: Mary is Apex, DHF EXO.
Just for reference, I've also just fitted a Specialized Blk Dmnd Butcher 2.6 to a 30mm internal rim and it's also a smidge over 2.5in on my caliper.
Surprisingly chunky compared to the Grid 2.6 I had before, which was more like the average 2.4in tyre. Might turn out to be a bit draggy on the rear.
2.56 inches is ok for a 2.6 I suppose. Do they have more volume than a 2.5WT DHF/DHR2?
I'm running 30mm ID rims.
I did consider some 2.8 Maxxis', which come up at 67mm on 30mm rims. Probably a DHF and Reckon.
