I'm mulling this one over. Help if you want, anyone interested! 
Last year I used my DMR Rhythm as a winter bike on my local trials, I made do with (surprisingly) a 24" DMR Moto 2.2 on the rear and a 26" old Maxxis Minion "2.35" on the front, and the most rigid forks ever (DMR Trailblade 20)! 24" wheels are Halo Tornado sedigned for BSX.
I've missed riding all summer due to a shoulder accident injury, so It'll be easy going, fancying fat tyres though will help cushion out lack of suspesnion on this bike, and will be fun as a mini fat bike or capable trail toy. Options are:
1. Trail toy: 26x2.5 Minion Exo front (which can also go on my SC Bullit build) 900g ish, rear Halo Ception by Duro 24x"2.6" at 1265g!
2 Mini Fat: 24x"3.0" Halo Contra front 1500g!! and Halo Ception Rear 24x2.6 1265g
3 Credit crunch skinny Whippet: 26" front and 24x"2.35" Halo Choir Boy Lite from stocks, 860g dunno if Duro make these and Halo seem skinnier than their widths
Its a silly connundrum I know, blame an unrewarding career! What would you choose? A mini fat bike would be fun for novelty but those tyres are way heavy and not even as wide as they say they are and might slow down a playful lightish bike.
Now I've written it all down I'm leaning towards a snesible 46er option. hmm
