I posted here a few weeks ago about replacing tires for an event. I picked up some Tufo Thundero 44 and 40, hoping to run the larger but clearance might be an issue. See pics … Probably 3 mm with the 44 mounted… Too tight?
Not bad, go for a few rides and look for scratches. If you won’t pack it with mud it might be ok.

What’s the frame material?

I run tires that are 6 mm wider than the recommended frame spec. I place frame protector tape around chain stays to monitor rubbing. So far so good. If I had any wear, I’d step down in tire size but so far so good.
