TILE APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE WALL IS NOT ONE OF THE OPTIONS LISTED G2409.2 'b. 'The allowable clearance reduction shall be based on one of the methods specified in Table G2409.2 or shall utilize an assembly listed for such application.'.
Tile or other non-combustible materials applied directly to a combustible surface will not keep things from burning any more than a stainless steel pan keeps your food from burning. It is also incorrect that tile applied directly to a combustible wall assembly would allow any further reduction in clearance. 'This section shall govern the reduction in required clearances to combustible materials, INCLUDING GYPSUM BOARD, and combustible assemblies.'.

International Residential Code SECTION G2409 (308) CLEARANCE REDUCTION G2409.1 (308.1) Scope. It is a misconception that drywall (gypsum board) has any bearing on clearances. 'Cooking appliances that are designed for permanent installation, including ranges, ovens, stoves, broilers, grills, fryers, griddles, hot plates and barbecues, shall be tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1 or ANSI Z21.58 and shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions.'. International Residential Code G2447.1 (623.1) Cooking appliances.
Clearances from non-combustible materials are not part of the ANSI Z21.1 scope and are not certified by CSA. All cooktop clearances are to combustible surfaces, regardless of whether it is a wall framed with wood studs and covered with drywall, or window trim.
