Here's my Surly LHT with Compass (Rene Herse) Rat Trap Pass 2.3" tires. Still have a comfortable amount of clearance at the rear stays with these! They are like riding on pillows...

I have no interest in pedaling this bike over 20 mph, so I simplified the front crankset by removing the large ring...now I mostly ride it as a 1x with the extra help of a granny gear on extra steep loaded climbs. I also cobbled together a custom 8-speed cassette using larger 34t and 36t rings from a 9-speed. Love those low gears!
