I keep looking at these Maxxis Hookworms in 26 x 2.5 and reading they are a tough tire that rolls nicely.

They will not clear the chain stays. A 2.1 is about the widest you can run. I had some 2.1's on mine, Kenda Badger's, and had right at 3/16 clearance at the chain stays.
I sent you a private message.
