New Season, New Tires, New Thread

Trail casing only comes with Endurance compound (like Maxxis Dual Compound) currently. New Revel Ranger comes with Trail Soft front/rear. I'd wait for those to hit retail if I were you.

Good to know, thanks.

I am still on the hunt for a DH casing tire that is 2.6-2.8. (27.5) Ebike don’t G.A.F. how heavy it is.

Ended up going with the 2.5 and glad I did. As was said elsewhere, it's true to Maxxis sizing, IOW way small.
It's dwarfed by the 2.6 Hellkat up front.

In fairness to maxxis, it's not so much that maxxis runs small, it's that pretty much every other brand runs big.

Every maxxis tire I have measures very close to the stated size. Most of the non-maxxis tires I have measure bigger than stated.

Have you tried the Vittoria Mazza 2.6? Their enduro casing falls right between a DD and DH ime.

The 2.5WT on a 31mm inner width rim, measured at 2.28".
Not too bad but not good.

Casing or knobs? I think maxxis measures at the knobs while some other brands measure at the casing.

I don't have any aggressors mounted up, but the dhf's, dhr2's, and assegais in my garage all measure accurately, or a bit big (measured at the widest point of the knobs).

(Not saying that the aggressor isn't undersized - the 2.3 that I had was more like a 2.25).
