I have used DHF 2.5s a lot in the past and tried Butchers 2.3s for some of last summer. Volume is pretty much the same. Butcher tread is slightly less deep and didn't quite get the same bite when leaned-over. Control casing is thinner than a Maxxis EXO, Grid a little tougher than EXO. Set up tubeless just as easily as Maxxis. I'd run a Butcher Grid in the rear again if it was a much cheaper option than a Minion EXO.

spec are much heavier, I'd stick to maxxis just because of that, the rest seems to be like said splitting hairs

My understanding as well is that the new GRID is stronger (and makes sense that its a little heavier) than EXO. Old GRID definitely was not but it was a lot lighter. Interesting about Maxxis 2.5 = Spec 2.3. Do others find this as well? My usual trail/shuttle combo is DHF/DHR2 EXO 2.3s but looking for something with more volume and stronger in the rear than EXO for 29". Is Spec Buthcher GRID the answer?

I don't think the DHF's have changed, but newer tires (i.e. DHR II, HR II, etc.) are more closely in line with other companies. That's why, for example, a 2.4 DHR II is the same width as a 2.5 DHF.

Copy, I had the older DHF with AC/DC lettering and even though it was a 2.5 it was obviously skinny. I just wondered if the newer version were closer to 2.5 than the older version. Seems like if width is a concern the DHR II is the way to go. Thanks Toast.

If you want a wider tire, a DHR II won't actually help you; it's the same width as the old 2.5's but Maxxis just relabeled it as a 2.4 (which is closer to what it actually is), and that's the biggest size they make. If you want a tire with a similar tread pattern to the DHRII but with a bit more width / volume, check out the Bontrager G5. Rides pretty similarly, but slightly bigger.

Bump. Mrs jm2e just tore her third DHR II sidewall in as many months. Any thoughts on whether I need to search for something more durable? Or maybe just switch to DHF or SS? She's kind of a ripper, but a featherweight so hard to imagine she puts a bigger hurting on tires than a bunch of mags.
Personally, I've been on Butchers for a couple years. Just a bit heavier and less grippy. Not destroying them as fast, but I'm kind of a pussy.However many are in a shit ton.

treads don't rip, casing designs rip. "DHR2" is a tread design.
which DHR 2 casing was it?Besides the comet that killed the dinosaurs nothing has destroyed a species faster than entitled white people.-ajp
