I have a 2013 Mason. I ran 29x2.6 VeeRubber flow snap on a Stans flow ex rim and it fit, but the side nobs would rub on the frame under cornering loads. Tire/rim combos effect the actual width of the tire quite a bit. In my opinion a 2.3 or 2.4 is the widest I would go.
Thanks for the info. Everywhere I read said 2.4 is the limit
