1000g is on par with the DHF. I'm concerned with the shedding abilities though. Anyone run one in sticky peanut butter?

Any of the Schwalbes worth looking at? Probably have to run a 2.6" though for my wide rims. My only experience with them is a rock razor in the rear which is fast as hell, but drifty. I know people love the magic mary and hans up front though.

Don't know about availability, but the EXO Shorty Maxx Terra seems like the obvious option. 965 grams in 27.5x2.5WT.

Maybe consider getting some rims that aren't retarded?

Weight aside, the Shorty center knobs are so square edged that when climbing or on anything remotely hard you can feel every single knob. It's like riding a bike with a tractor tire on the front.
I would also feel stupid buying a 3rd....yes 3rd Shorty. I have a DH casing and DD casing. Why? I have no fucking idea.

935g claimed for the 27.5X2.6 Magic Mary in snakeskin TLE orange soft compound. Very intriguing. Might have to try this.

Magic Mary sheds the mud well. Brits love that tire. I think the Michelin wild enduro is just under 1000g. That also has good spacing for mud

Interested to hear your thoughts WG if you run MM’s, as compared to a DHF up front. I have been tempted to try the MM (mainly on the front) but haven’t yet.

You don't want the Hans Dampf. The knobs are smaller an more tightly spaced than a DHF; I haven't ridden it in mud but I would expect it to be worse at clearing than the DHF. It's a good tire for someone that wants a less aggro DHF, but I don't think it's what you're looking for.

Nobby Nic 2.6
Good all rounder.

I've never heard anyone say the MM rolls well.
As far as Nobby Nic - shouldn't they rename that "Nobbies Falling Off Nic"?

The good thing about that.... is once the knobs actually do fall off, it's perfectly timed with a warranty claim to get a new tire since you need it anyways. I did that with three NN's last year, and had a new tire within 5 days from Schwalbe.
But I must say, the new Addix compound is $$$ for my type of high-country riding. It's my preferred rear tire when I'm not slamming rocks in Moab, Fruita, St. George, etc.

Mud shedding and rolls well don't really belong in the same sentence together. I think you should say fuck it and throw a WetScream on there. You get a great mud tire that also works in deep talc, and you can legit say "Brap!" every time you look down at it.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

Agreed. I feel HD is kinda their version of an Aggressor. Definitely not suited for mud.
You can get Schwalbes really cheap from Bike-Discount.de (~$45/each), but you'll pay about $25 total on shipping to the US. So if you're just buying 1 tire, it's probably not worth the hassle, but if you're buying 2 or more, it starts looking really attractive.

What’s the point of going out if you’re not slamming rocks?
Of course, there’s root slamming if you’re on this side of the yard.

Nobby Nic is a good tire, ran it before in 2.35, 2.6 and 2.8. Not as durable as Maxxis, sidewalls tear easily, so I switched back to Maxxis a while ago. My brother was on the 2.8 spec'd with his Ibis Mojo 3 for a while and also liked them but has the same issues as me...flatting them both out multiple times and switching over to Maxxis. I'd say it's my shitty riding style but my last pair of Maxxis held up for 1,000+ miles without a single flat, riding the same trails as I did with the Nobbys. They are also more expensive and harder to find on sale as the DHF/DHR's.
