New Season, New Tires, New Thread

For the rear, I'd get DC Anyway.

Yeah no doubt. Mostly contemplating that front rubber though...

[jm2e]

Get the 2.4 3C for the front. You'll appreciate it.

[zlatham]

2.4 dhr2 ST exo seems wider than the 2.3 new dhf dual exo in 26". Im running thus combo (dhr2 front dhf rear) and it rules, I really like the ST compound up front.

[Norseman]

Just refreshed the herd.

Only 2.3 or 2.5 for the wagon wheels. I know the 2.3 will be a bit narrower than my schwalbes yet still a little heavier. Seems a little nuts to be rolling around on a 1000+ gram tire I gotta pedal around though, no? 2.3 saves almost 100 grizzams.

[WaistDeepGroomers]

Fuck it. Ordered. 2.5" 3C exo for the front and 2.3 minion ss exo/silkworm for the rear. Brap!

So twice now with new tires this year I've been blown away. On the fatty this winter and again today on my + bike. Terrene Wazia 26x4.6 and Chunk 27.5x3. I made moves today that I haven't pulled off with all sorts of other tires and came off the trail all sortsa giddy. These Chunks are kickass, they come in 27.5 x 2.3 and 3.0 and the same in 29 in a light or tough casing.

I just bought a new set of Stans Arch mk3's for my Trance and I figure may as well get new tires as well. I'm thinking minion ss on the rear and a dhf up front. Just can't decide between 2.3 or 2.5. I wanna go 2.5 but it's like 150 grams heavier so it's tough.

[kidwoo]

Terrene Wazia 26x4.6 and Chunk 27.5x3.

I recognize the numbers but are those other characters making words?

I use my one bike for any bike park riding I do so that was my excuse to go yuge!

27.5x3" tire that weighs less than my 26" 2.35?

So what part of the tire is made out of onion-skin? 'Cause that's gonna be a problem.

Assuming that is the "old" DHF sizing, get the 2.5. True width of the 2.3 is more like a 2.1, and the 2.5 is more like 2.35.

Ah

No wonder I'd never heard of them. "those" kinds of tires......

I've got two rides on them so far in very rocky places and haven't incurred any damage yet. I have read a few reviews that suggested going with the tough casing for the rear.

Ah

The company was started by people (that you know) that left a much larger tire and bike company. These are for real.

I just clicked on the first one and saw 'fat bike tires'

Who is it? Not a whole lot of info on the 'about' section of the site.

[gravitylover]

Who is it?

Tim Kreuger was part of the team that turned Surly into a player, developed their tire line and brought 45North into the world. He brought a few other members of that team along when he started Kreuger Outdoor which includes Advocate Cycles. The tire line is growing quickly and the value/performance balance is definitely there in each model. I think that by this time next year you will hear quite a bit more about them

Surly and 45North?

I suspect that they know very little about "real" tires.

The Terrenes are made in the WTB factory, and bear a lot of similarities to some of the WTB tires. They have essentially the same casings - the "light," which is a thin single wall, and is fairly tear prone, and the "tough" which is similar to a Maxxis doubledown - 2 ply x 120 tpi.

Also, their tires are super high volume. The Chunk 2.3 measures closer to most other companies' 2.5. So unless you're running a fairly wide rim, you end up with a super round tire profile that doesn't corner that well.

I like that Terrene is looking to bring a good, new knobby tire into the mix, but it needs some revisions to the casing shape, casing construction, and knob size / placement before it's a legitimate contender.

[gravitylover]

Thanks toast I'm hoping I don't tear one but I won't be surprised if I do. I could definitely feel the difference between these and the Fat B Nimble 3.5's with tubes that I took off. What's a skinny rim

Yeah there's a lot going on with new treads and casings, the '18 line is sounding like it's going to be great.

Does not appear to be the case from the tech specs on the website...

Says the "Light" is 120 tpi and the "Tough" is 60 tpi.
