Yeah, you don't really want to go much above 2.2 with a narrow rim.
You don't need a huge amount of tread for Thetford, even in the Winter. If you're racing, then something fast rolling, but within reason. Maybe a Shwalbe Nobby Nic front/ Racing Ralph rear or Maxxis Ardent front/ Crossmark rear.
This place is good, if you need them quickly.

Try to avoid the cheaper compounds from Schwalbe and C**tinental, as they're a bit plasticy and will try to kill you.
