Hm. Okay, for context I’m interested because I’m wanting to put one on a 30mm rim up front only on an old model 27.5 Yari Boost. I’ll be going with something more 2.3-2.5 in the back, possibly a tough/fast Breakout. I’ve offered the Trailblazer/i35 combo I have with the original lopsided Hope Boost adapters into the fork and it’s go plenty of side clearance but the arch is getting a bit marginal as I can’t quite get a little finger in there.
What I’m really looking for for this build is an allrounder tyre that copes with mud and wet rock well and preferably is at least 2.6. From what I’m reading the 2.6 Forekaster would probably be a good option if Maxxis could be arsed providing it over here, and other tyres in the category seem to have mostly sold out so I was looking for alternatives and started wondering about plus.
I had been planning a high grip Ranger as a look-see. Am I likely to regret it? From Firestarter and McCraque’s replies it seems it’s likely to fit side to side and may even be a little better on the arch?
