Not sure which Silverback frame you have, but the majority of frames will comfortably fit a 2.25 only. When there is mud around even that becomes too big.

SIZE 2.63??? Is there even such a size?

2.2/2.25/ if you are lucky 2.35 on XC bikes. anything more than that then NO.

But I am old school so what do I know.

2,6 is an ebike size.

 

2,8 readily available for ebikes.

 

way too wide for standard frames !!

Also depends on the inner width of the rim, I have 2.25s on my Sola 1 and with a 25mm inner rim width, it was fine even in mud, but after buying a new wheel with a 30mm inner width, clearance became significantly less, now riding in mud is a problem with all the rubbing.
