New set of wheels
I presently have 29" boost 30mm rims with 2.6" tires. I use these for single track and down hill. I want to get a new set for road/gravel touring. With the intent of 2"-2.2" tires- Is 30mm rim width suitable, or might I find 25mm (if available) better suited?
I don't want to just switch out tires with the hassle of tubeless, it's easier to just get an extra set and change out in a moment
I want to lighten the overall weight of the wheels and tires.
Thanks

WTB Rim Tire Charts
Should answer your questions on if it would fit ok or if you should choose a size for a proper fit.
