Same deal for me. 2.35″ rear is what I’m running with very minor chainstay rub. Alloy frame so not a concern.
Also running 2.35″ up front and I am just now realizing my new front fork (15 x 100 fox 34) should fit 2.5″ tires. Hmmmm. Thinking I might be shopping for a new front tire to try out this winter.
