Do you even need to do all the fork and front wheel replacing just for the sake of tyres? While Maxxis has pretty much abandoned 26", the entire Schwalbe and Conti lineups, including new models released last year, are available in 26". All with the newest rubber and casing tech. Between Magic Marys, Hans Dampfs, Dirty Dans, Barons and Kaiser tyres i see no reason to spend huge amounts of cash on a functionally identical wheel and fork combo.
Unless of course the new fork provides vastly superior suspension performance.
