Hi All
I have a Genesis Fortitude ss, fitted with 2.2 mountain kings tyres, do you think it will take a 3" tyre. Std rims and running tubed

3" or 3"+ curious

Not a chance in the back and I doubt it in the front. I had a 2.35" bontrager XR4 on the front of mine and that is as big as I think you'd want to go.

As above.

In the front - yes

In the rear (ooh er) - not a chance

I run a wide rear rim on mine which helps make the most of the modest clearance and can get away with fairly low PSI.
