Soooooo....my question is, because I am still not clear for my own needs...

Can I run 27.5 x 2.4" tires on a Surly Ogre, comfortably, without worrying about pedal strike or any other major concerns that folks worry about in situations like this?

I don't really want to run 27.5 x 2.8-3" all the time, weighted, touring kind of thing either. Or at least I don't think I do with no experience on them. If I could, I would like to run the 27.5" x 2.4" and put SUPER MOTO-X tires on it. Those tires only come in 2.4" or 2.8".

If I don't do that, then I want to run 29 x 2.15-2.35 tire, preferably Schwalbe Marathon Almotion.

If not either of those, then I will run a 2.25-2.35 tire with a light knob on it, meant for more hard packed surface and road if possible.

But the main thing is can I run a 27.5 x 2.4" tire on a Surly Orge without worrying that the Bottom Bracket "Height" (clearance to the ground) hasn't been compromised too much?
