Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I’ll likely stick with the Schwalbes, but was glad to hear of a positive experience with the Honchos.
David, here’s what Grant wrote to me regarding tire size/chainring count compatibility.... • A 2.8-inch tire in back works best with a single ring up front. B/C in the low gear on a double, the chain gets too close to the tire, and on bouncy stuff it'll rub and the knobs can catch on it and suck it into the gap btw the tire and chainstay. That can be avoided by shifting to ANY OTHER GEAR when you go bouncing down a bumpy hill---but sometimes you'll forget to do that, and it'll make you feel dumb, which is less than ideal.
