29er tyres for tricross?

Hi there, Ive had my tricross for a few weeks now and was wanting to put some more trail oriented tyres on it to replace the standard borough cx's. I was keen on some kenda small block 8s, but their biggest available size is 35... and i was looking for something fatter (6'2" 100kg! on a 58cm frame). Im wanting to ride some fairly choppy firetrails/xc etc with mates who have xc bikes... Does anyone have any experience with 29er tyres on their tricross. Kenda sb8s come in 2.1s, as do some maxxis, but they may be too big to fit (52mm ish?) and bontrager come in 1.8 which would prob fit, but are very$. i have a second wheels for commuting/road tyres, so was looking for something without compromise for the dirt. Anyone have any experience or ideas? All input is appreciated.
