I'm looking at repurposing my Fortitude as an experiment.
Looking at the 2.35" Schwalbe BA or the same size Super Moto tyres.
Ideally they would be compatible with my Dually rim on the front as I haven't a spare wheel.
Any thoughts on the above or other suggestions?
I've got an inbred 29er with 2.35 Super Moto's on it. I really like them, they have masses of volume and roll really nicely on tarmac. Have had them on Alexrims Supra 35mm rims on my 2015 Longitude, it was a right hoot. I would advise to get them up tubeless, as they are a bit vulnerable to punctures (a fair trade off for the weight saving over Big Apples though).
Schwalbe do a set of BIG Marathon PLus tyres - can't remember the exact size - used them in Cuba - they look like this on a Fargo - i think they were about 2.1?

I have a Shwalbe BA 2.35 spare if you need. It's new and is the old tread type. Got it through an ordering balls up as i run them on my 29er ss in road configuration...
Email in my profile if you want to get in touch.
The Marathon Supreme comes in a 700x50 size. Fast rolling, comfy, and puncture resistant. I used the 700x37 version and only got one puncture between California and Florida.
Maxxis Grifter comes in 2.5" and isn't that heavy either, though that may be too big!
