Bigger tire solution is difficult because there is a very limited tire offerings in that sizes so in the end I can still end up with 650b wheels. So maybe shockstop will be better solution for me?
Have you tried letting some air out of your tires? No need to run more than 50psi with those tires, ever. Off road, around 40 will do just fine.
