Anyone know what is the widest tubeless tire out there? I think I am just going to run my bike this winter on wide tires. No studded ones, since I don't have an another set of wheels.

Thanks

i'm uncertain as to the largest available, but i do know that nokia has the gazzaloddi at 3.0, kenda has the nevegal at 2.7, and maxxis has the high roller, minion f & r, and mobster at 2.7 - i currently have a kenda kenetic non stick-e 2.6 on the front of my rigid ss - i grabed it for winter but wanted to know how it was in the dirt - had 2 runs on it so far and im still putzing w/psi but at this point i think i was happier w/the kenetic 2.35 non stick-e - hope this helps

The widest tubless tire that I know of is the Michelin Comp 32 in a 2.8". The Gazzi's are not UST, neither are the Marzocchi tires. The only wide Maxxis tubeless I know of is the Minion DHR, which is 2.5". There is also the Specialized Enduro UST at 2.4" wide.

Erik I would suggest the Larson TT just from looking thru a Q book at tread patterns......do you know what the largest tyre size is that your frame will allow is? Also do your rims also allow for "tubed" tyres as some ust rims do? If thats the case id toss on a Nokian extreme in the rear and a mount and ground in the front.
