Those are the WTB Prowler MX Team DH. That is an excellent price for them. I wish I'd seen that earlier. The tire itself fully inflated measures roughtly 2.50 inches across. My rear seat stay measures about 3.5 inches across. Hope that helps. Its an awesome tire that'll roll thru anything, but you won't set no speed records with it.
If that's too big then try a 2.3 tire.
