Hi guys.

Don't think so, max would either be 29X2.25 or 2.35

If you are running narrow rims you can run 2.35 but with very little clearance but realistically 2.25 is your max size without damaging the frame.

I've had a couple of them and they are great but tyre clearance is not great.

I tried to see if I still had photos to show the clearance. These are not great but you can see with 30mm rims and 2.25 maxxis the clearance is tight. 

Funny enough the aluminum Scale fits 2.35 no worries, don't know why Scott decided to make the carbon so narrow.
