I have these in 700 and 26. Nice tires,but no puncture resistance. I've actually never flatted them,but I've also never used them for commuting. And I think the OP wanted to stay with wider tires.

(ps-> I am a big ba fan, at least the 26" ones; I am also a couple hundred miles into a pair of 700x32 marathon supremes but I have no idea what the 2.0 supremes would be like)
Pretty sure they're 2". Def wider than the 1.75" Adventures I had on two years ago and about the same size as the 1.95" Crossroads I had on last winter. I really like them. Tons of grip and I don't have to be so careful in the rain.
