"Other"
Front, Schwalbe Big Apple 50-305 aka 16" x 2" ... (Only `cause I'm happy w/12.5" but can't find quality rubber in this size.)
Rear Xootr 7" x 1"... cast wheel w/polyurethane "tire". (Should mean less bloody ankles plus fewer flat tires... Also believe it'll be easier to drag through snow and slush. Trolley tracks and drain covers may be interesting.)
Poll did not offer choice of mixed widths...

I voted 2.35" because I love the ride of my Big Apples on le Béte. They're noticeably larger than the 2.1" ones.
Fender clearance is touchy but they look great.
The other ebike runs 26 X 1.75" Schwalbe Marathon Plus. I'll put the two inch apples on it when the Marathon Plus die.

(I wrapped the apples with cling wrap and stored them in a cool, dry, dark place, away from ozone sources so they don't deteriorate.
There's still lots of miles left on these Marathons so the 2" Big Apples might be stored a long time.)
