One thing you have to consider is how heavy the tire is. I'd imagine it is close to putting a massive flywheel weight on it. It's worth a try though, I changed my 19in' 2.5in rim to a 3.5inch rim to give it a shot and did not like it. It would stretch out the knobbies and hook up great, but it costed me big bucks to have the spokes aligned away from the chain so the tire would not hit the chain and also added so much weight that all it nearly lost all the hit. But was quite fun though. lol
