The only time you’d want a Maxxgrip in the FR is if was raining and you were on a bunch of roots. Low odds. Pointy FR rocks and loose shit will kill a MaxxGrip pretty quickly.

Can confirm, the 2 new Rascals have Trail casing Soft compound

Edit to add: this casing/compound does not show up on QBP yet, and they are now the exclusive importer/distributor for Conti in USA....

I finally found some new Conti tires, Argotal 2.4 Trail Endurance…not ideal, but the tread looked interesting. Cutty test in the street and grass on 30mm rims at the same psi I run Maxxis EXO/EXO+...

I finally measured my Forekaster 2.4 today and got 57mm on the casing, same as the 2.4 Dissector up front. Mounted on 30mm internal hookless rim.
It still just looks a litter skinnier though, so...

I’ve got a Ranger that I usually keep a Dissector 2.4 on the front and had been running a 2.4 Rekon, but switched over to Forekaster v2 2.4.
The Forekaster does look a little slimmer than Rekon, but...

I used to be fairly ambivalent about + or not….but the new EXO+ has significantly more protection and support at the bead, which is sweet because those punctures tend to be difficult/impossible to...

Can’t speak to Spec tires,but new Maxxis Severe looks good.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but my buddy just cut the int. knobs on an Assyguy and now deems it acceptable. He was not digging it prior to that.

Got about 30 trail miles on the tire and so far so good. It seems a little narrower on the same rim (i9 27mm internal) than the Rekon. Just measured it at 58mm both casing and side knobs. I didn’t...

I just threw a new Forekaster on the back of my Ranger to replace a Rekon. Paired up with a Dissector in the front. Should be a fun, fast grippy setup, with a little better braking than the Rekon....

Not God. Our DHF cult lord and savior is Colin Bailey.

The drift point allows for a lot more variety in turn shape and timing. I like being able to change pressure and square off turns instead of...

Does the pump read higher or lower? It might be reading lower when you attach the pump and air fills the hose - like a shock pump…but then it might be closer to accurate after you’ve pumped some air...

Lol. Pepperidge Farm over here

Yep. I start at the valve for tubeless and most other tubed tires. Except for skinny old road 23-28c that are tight. In that case I align logo/stem on first bead, then finish the second bead at the...

No need to wax Versus tires, the compound has already got ya covered.

I’d just like to show some appreciation for this joke. Bravo.

Just push on the knobs of a Dissector and watch/feel them mush around. I ride extremely varied terrain/dirt around Durango. I rode it in the local high desert stuff around town, also mid and high...

You prefer squirmy tires


Sent from my iPhone using TGR Forums

I’m with you guys. 165#s, don’t ride slowly, plenty of Durango and Moab rock, EXO up front at 23.5psi and EXO+ rear at 25 psi and rarely annihilate tires or flat.

No. Blasphemy
Take a lap

OG High Roller was the faster rolling dry conditions rear tire for most in CO. Old DHR or DHF if it rained.

Grinch’s mileage is varying so hard right now

Yep, I think they might melt or something. That’s very exciting you’ve upgraded to disk breaks. Do you have them on your front forks as well as your suspension beam?

I bought a Tubolito to carry since I haven’t flatted in 2 years and got sick of carrying around a pound of rubber that I’ll never use.

This is my experience as well. DHR2 has a ton of grip. The braking traction is silly.

I rode Conti Mtn King 29x2.4 up front for a few rides on the Zipp Moto wheels. I gotta say, I have no complaints....but the rims were sick too and the dirt is all time right now. The braking and...

Hmmm..yes, discuss......https://bikerumor.com/2019/06/24/can-front-specific-tioga-edge-22-mtb-tire-double-cornering-traction/

I go back and forth. It’s also nice to put on the DHR2 and feel like you’re setting an edge.
I ran Shorties f&r for a bit this fall just for giggles. So many giggles.

IMO Aggressor rolls faster, DHR2 brakes better and carves through turns better, while Aggressor is a little drifty

For some further tire nerdery, I've heard that Conti's high thread counts aren't super legit. They get their high TPI number from layering, whereas Vittoria and others are counting TPI in a single...

Funny, I thought about this for a brief moment yesterday as I looked at the 2 Aggressors hanging in my garage. I stocked up when they came back into stock late this summer because its my new favorite...

Very strategic, stabby braking. Solid, embedded rocks are your friends for braking.

Sounds like a personal problem?

You're doing it wrong?

Sorry man, I got nothing. I've got thousands of miles on DHFs in CO. Where are you riding?

Yup. I wanted to replace the SS with Aggressor, but those tires are like unicorn tears right now, so I went with DHR2

Yeah man, Minion SS is not the tire for the summer dust. It was great in the spring and early June. The past few summers, I've loved Ardent 2.25 or sometimes 2.4 on the rear...but I'm in the...

Have not tried a WR2. Not a lot of Michelin love around these parts, so they are hard to find at shops, but if the need and opportunity presented itself, I'd give'r a go.

A lot of shops around...

I've been riding a 2.4 HRII on the front of my trailduro bike for the past 2.5 years. Was not terrible.

A little too drifty/squirmy at times, but I wouldn't blame it for any crashes. Now that...

Just put a DHR2 2.3 on the back for the first time in a few years. It's got gobs of traction and seems to roll pretty well. I'm coming off a Minion SS which is absurdly fast, but slippy at this...

It is lower volume than I thought it'd be, but I think it will stretch out a little and gain a bit of girth. I compared mine new on my 24mm internal rim vs my buddy's on a 26mm rim and his looked...

Yesterday was first day on Minion SS. It's my new favorite rear tire. So fucking rad.
