I was wondering what the biggest 29er tire is that an fit in the rear of a Meta Ht. The website says the max tire size is 60-622, which I think equates to a 2.35, but I wasn't sure if anyone has gone any bigger.
Someone on reddit said that they fit a 2.5 Assagai on the back of their 2019 Meta HT with a decent amount of clearance, and I am pretty sure the frames did not change between 2019 and 2020 besides graphics.
A 29x 2.6 Maxxis fits just right on the rear of my 2021 Meta HT. Anything with wider knobs in a 2.6 would be pushing it, especially in the mud. I also have the choice of a 27.5 rear wheel, which places the rim in a wider section where the chainsaws meet. This would allow for a much wider tyre. Although I have only used a 2.5 WTB Vigilante on my 27.5 wheel.
