2.35 is the width; will they fit in your frame? If so, you can use them.

Check wiggle or CRC to see what widths they come in.

2.35 Maxxis aren't much wider than 2.1" Kenda's

Depends on the size of the rims you've got, but unless they are very narrow, you can use a 2.35" Minion OK I'm sure. You'll need to check there's clearance in your frame and fork though (more than likely there will be).

Minion's are a DH tyre though, they're very grippy but quite slow and heavy if you're not riding DH only on them.
