If you’re riding in the mud and dirt, it’s going to get stuck to the sides of the tire and rub against the chain stays and fork. At the low PSI levels for those bois, you’re also going to have some flattening when riding. Sit on it and roll a bit with your intended pressures and see how close everything gets
Edit: imagine a rock gets picked up and gets stuck at the top of the tire and against the fork. Things will not end well.

They will squish with weight on it. I’d be especially nervous if carbon. The grit will eat gouges in the fork. At the very least get the 3m for the inside of the forks
