Would going from a 26x2.00 front tire to a 26x2.50 tire (with appropriate PSI) be noticeably more comfortable on the road?
I currently have two 26x2.00 tires on my heavy rigid "touring" bike that weighs 80lbs. My rear chainstays won't allow for a wider tire but my front fork has room for going from 2.00 to 2.50. Is it worth it for $40? Maxxis Hookworm is the only 2.50 inch 559mm tire I can find. Or should I replace the front fork with a new one that can fit a 26x3.00+ tire? Comfort is my main concern here, this bike is heavy as shit and I put thousands of miles on it, 90% on the road 10% light hardpack trails.
