For sure but you’ll often run into issues putting wider tires on. Most frames only accept a narrow range of widths. I ride a 27.5 with 2.8” tires which makes the outside diameter just about the same as a 29x2.3” but with more cushion. My old bones can’t handle the impact from a bad rim hit any more.
