Well I don't know where your other post is. But the widest for bikes I have heard is 3"...past that would be prototyping I assume as 90% of frames can't even take 3" let alone bigger and most forks are the same.

Better ride the lift to the top if you get these, cause you ain't gonna do much pedaling....

3.0 is the biggest I've heard of.. Nokian and a few others make them.
