I noticed quite a difference with 2.4" tyres, moving from 19mm internal to 25mm, but hardly a thing moving up to 30mm
It's very easy to go too wide with mtb rims, which squares the tyre's profile, putting the knobs in a less than ideal place for cornering
Saying that, I seem to have settled with 25mm rims for 2.3" tyres and 30mm for 2.6"
Thanks. Good insight
