Gasket, on what type of bike are we talking here, Rigid, HT, FS _(short or long travel)_???? For me, a good 2.35" tyre on an i30 rim is more than enough width for trail riding on an FS, anything bigger and I feel like I'm more than cheating and not contributing much in the equation of how I get down the trail.
Now if we're talking HT, a nice 2.8" outback paired with a 2.5" upfront is quite nice and on a rigid anything from 2.6-3.0" is good, although lots more work and workout running the smaller option over 3.0".
