just wondering what is the largest tyre size I could fit on my five.

I am considering rubber Queens for my next tyre, but wondering if the 2.4's will fit? (running 32 fox forks)

Anybody know?

thanks

the MK 2.4s are pretty narrow for the stated width, but still much, much wider that the Razers! should fit though.

2.4 contis are/were coming as OEM on some models.

2.4 MKs usually come as standard but rubber queens are loads wider than the MKs, despite both being contis.

mine came with MK 2.4's and they were fine (clearance wise.....) Now running with 2.35 Rampages, which have similar clearance to the MK's

hmm mine came with 2.2 MK's so that was why I was wondering about the 2.4. Those rubber queens are heavy though, come in at 1kg each!

dunno about the rubber queens. The MK's were good on dry dusty trails but very poor everywhere else! Rampages are IMO a great allrounder

My hubby's got 2.35 nevegal on the rear - and that's the widest 2.35 tyre I've ever come across. They seem to be working a treat.

I've run a 2.5" dual ply High Roller on the back and still had plenty of clearance.
