What do you think without a mudguard?
Basically Hunt wheels have mildly messed me around and have offered me a pair of free tyres which is more than generous.
I’ve already got a set of winter and a set of summer tyres so I was thinking of getting a pair for mild off-roading. They have 30,33,35 and 38mm in a variety of tread patterns.
Wiggle have massively messed my son around over a pair of wheels and are cunts btw.

Think about tyre volume, not just width. How close is the tyre to the ST?
I'd say take a 33 for the rear and a 35 for the front if you can fit it in the fork. That'll be more than plenty for summer gravel and will give you 2 widths to test/assess the limits on the rear size. -
If the width of the mudguard is 35mm, then maximum 35mm, the wheel flex will increase the likelihood of tyres rubbing on the stay, and if your bike is still under warranty, likely to be voided if there’s erosion.

You can probably get 45mm mudguard and maybe 32mm tyres but I wouldn’t advise pushing it.
