The cogset is a Shimano Deore HG50 11-36t 10-speed and the RD is a Freeride spec Shimano Zee which is rated for 36t, precisely the same setup I've used on my other 305er for years with smaller tires. So, no, I am dead certain this set up will work with even more plump tires. I've been down this road before when it comes to the drivetrain.
Btw, I've seen the same RD used with a 11-42t cogset. The RD will work fine. I choose to stay at 36t max which is plenty low.
