difference in the way they ride ? been running some 27.5 3.0 wtb ranger tyres fast rolling!! and looking at putting Bontrager XR4 2.8 more aggressive tyres for lakeland riding on my hardtail, because of the width I am concerned they will preforming differently with say a 35mm rim that the reviews have been based on or would it not make that much difference.

I've got 2.75 Dirt Wizard on a Hugo and it works well. Not sure about the profile on the xr4, but I'd not be concerned about giving it a go.
Forgot about the Dirt Wizard tyres have one on my SS and its great tyre XR4s are coming out at £70
Another one to look at is the Vee Tire Crown Gem 3.0. I run this with a Ranger on the back and it's a cracking front tire with a decently aggressive (yet quite fast rolling) tread. The one I'm running comes up more like a 2.8 in real world width. This is on a 40mm rim.
Sidewalls seem to be pretty solid too - I'd say somewhere halfway between the WTB light and tough carcasses.
Currently about £48 on Next day tires... http://nextday.bike/details.aspx/B37817-275-VeeTire-CrownGem-30/1862
I've got a few plus tyres for sale (Inc a Crown Gem, Duro Miner and a Crux). Pm me if you're interested
