Default 26 1.95 vs 26 2.10 Question

I have never used anything but 26 1.95 tires but found some 26 2.10
tires and rims in the trash that appear to be brand new. What are the
different characteristics between the two. TIA.

IME, the wider tire will grab better and roll slower. I like to run
something narrower in the rear, to dig in on the soft stuff and keep
RR down, and something in the 2.1 area up front, to avoid washing
out. I'm far from an expert, however - so I'd see what others have to
say.

Most people would not really notice the difference in size provided they
had the same style of tread.
- You may notice that it won't accelerate as well
- You may notice the extra weight
- You may notice extra buoyancy/softer ride

I think the tread pattern makes the greater difference. Either way, they
all have differing characteristics - go out and find what they are and
enjoy them.

Great if your frame doesn't have a clearance problem with them. Or
your V brakes.
