I just searched BromptonTalk. According to those guys, fitting Scorchers is no-can-do. There is a long chain of posts but here is a decent summary.

"I think these are the nominal widths when inflated, but that's
not the problem. The Brompton frame's minimum clearance is at
the bridge across the chainstays, and the Scorcher's diameter
is (AFAIK) a few mm too big to fit at this point.

I believe the Scorcher can go in the front forks without trouble.

Actually the bridge on my SP is worn and rusted through, so
I'm thinking of reshaping and reinforcing it to give extra
tyre room and to restore some of its strength (though I don't
think it's a very highly stressed part...)"
