Yeah, 2.6" tires I much prefer an i35 or i40 rim. In the same vein, folks talk about liking their 2.8" tires on i35 rims but I find for most brands an i40 fosters a tire shape that is less sensitive to 0.5psi.
If you go SE let me know how you like them. I'm now on the SE casing with CushCore but I certainly care more about run-flat, traction, feel, and rim protection than about weight or rolling speed. I know those metrics balance out differently everywhere and for different riders.
