New Season, New Tires, New Thread

[jm2e]

What are you lot gonna be rolling this year?

I've been running Butchers front and back on Trail bike (6" travel FS bike) and really liking them.
DHF front and back on the downhill bike.

Thinking about changing to High Rollers or Shortys on the DH bike this year. 60% dry rocks and roots and loose rocks. 40% wet, very very wet on same stuff. Wish I could run 2 wheelsets and swap out for different conditions, but ain't happening.

I just threw on a butcher up front and a slaughter in the rear. Probably the best combo for the variable PNW. Really stoked to see how they do in the summer!

Im gonna give some trail kings a go, 2.4 out front, 2.2 in back.

[Phall]

2.4 WT DHR II front, 2.35 minion SS rear. Its been a sick combo.

[Eluder]

Minion DHR2 Front and Rear on the Fully (will move to a SS on the rear when it dries out)
Minion DHR2 Front Minion SS Rear on the Hardtail.

[El Kanone]

I'm going with the black ones.

[That was Pontus]

Either a DHF or the new Aggressor (flames sidewalls... fuck yea) up front and keep the HRII out back.

[D(C)]

Bontrager SE5 front / Specialized Slaughter Grid rear on the AM bike

Specialized Butcher Control front / Specialized Ground Control rear on the 29er AM hardtail, because they're cheap, light and grip enough

[XXX-er]

DHR II front & rear setup tubeless

[kidwoo]

Butcher/slaughter trailbike (might get a minion SS in the mix at some point)


G5 bontragers on the dh bike.

[smmokan]

Minion DHF 2.5 WT on the front, Geax Goma 2.4" on the rear.... will probably put something else on the rear once the Goma wears out, but I had it in the garage and I really like it so far.

Im gonna give some trail kings a go, 2.4 out front, 2.2 in back.

I love that combo, the fastest rolling trail bike tires that have real traction that I have found... only problem is you will wear out the sidewalls way before you wear out the tread, so at the end of there service life you get the random blow off when running tubeless... because of this I just tried switching to Schwalbe (Hans Dampf front, Nobby Nic rear) yesterday for a lap.... and they are so slow compared to the TK's that I took them off and went right back to the TK's

[Dantheman]

Same as I have for a few years now, CST BFT front and rear. >90% as good as DHFs for $15/ea.

[radam]

2.35 Bontrager XR4s front and rear. SE4 up front if things get sloppy. Grip takes a high priority with our trails but when I venture elsewhere I wonder if I could get away with something a little faster in the rear.. xr3 or xr2 maybe.

DHF/DHR on the DH bike.

DHF in the front with Icon in the rear on the trail bike. Looks like I am in the minority but I am starting to love rear tires with smaller knobs in loose dry to semi damp.

If it real sloppy I will put the DHF in the back and run a Shorty in the front. Shorty is awesome in slop or super blown out dry marble sized garbage gravel.
