I ask because I have Schwalbe Hurricanes on mine, also in 50-622 size (also marked 29x2"). The casings themselves on the Schwalbes are about 48mm and small knobs are about 51-52mm edge to edge. And there's still room.

Those Kenda Kwick Journeys look nice. I have the Kwick Tendrils on one of my bikes and I like them. Somewhat heavy for their size (due to the puncture protection), but they are very smooth.
As another data point, I put Schwalbe Marathon Deluxe HS420s in 700x50 (2") on my Roam and they fit great. I tried to post pics but the forum says I'm too new. Heck, I had to delete the image from the quote just to reply.
On another note, I'm thinking of passing my 2018 Roam 2 onto a new owner and upgrading to the 2019 Roam 1. The Giant website is a bit unclear on two points though. Does anyone know:
1) What is the drivetrain on it? 2x11?
2) Is it tubeless? It says it has tubeless ready tires, but it comes with the GX28 wheels which afaik are not tubeless compatable.
