Could you do me a favor and measure the actual inflated width and height above rim, or total height?
Also, what rims are those? If my rims (velocity dyad 24mm width) are narrower than yours, that might pull the tire in and save me a mm or two.
Sorry for the slow response RubeRad... darn work... must learn to get the priorities straight...
As stated by others (thanks), these tires are 29x2.0 Serfas Drifters and I must say that I love 'em. They are a little on the heavy side, but once you get them spinning the rolling resistance is amazing for this type of tire. I take this bike out on long distance road bike-like asphalt rides fairly often on weekends...
At any rate, to answer your questions... using my calipers, the running width of these tires is 2.08" and the height above the rim is 1.94". Total height is around 28 and 3/4”. And as PatrickGSR94 stated, I have had no flats with them either.
The rims are Stan's NoTube ZTR Arch 29ers that I am currently running with an innertube. Excellent rim.

Thanks RidingMatthew, regarding the light, this is a old Blackburn unit that is know to have a weak clamp, held on with electrical tape and zip ties so I wouldn't recommend it.
