I kind of wonder why V-brakes only got one vote so far. Anyway, here's a review of the Maxxis Hookworm in 2.5":
EDIT: I understand mountain biking and "street/urban" type of biking as shown in this video are not the same type of ordinary hybrid biking people do. However, I just thought the videos I've linked in this thread still show some advantages of larger tires. So, I think it would be better still for people who want a hybrid to commute but also want to do some weekend bikepacking ect.
