I run 38 PSI on a beat to hell 3c 2ply 2.5 DHF. Get more weight on your front tire in corners. Or alternatively, get used to that high speed double wheel drift until you lock it in at some point in the turn.
And then regret wasting your brain glucose on a shitty tire."The world is a very puzzling place. If you're not willing to be puzzled you just become a replica of someone else's mind." Chomsky

Currently rocking some 2.8" 27.5 wtb trailblazers on a 35mm rim. They manage to fit with maybe 1/4" clearance on each side on a regular fox float fork. Any shop mags know what a 3.0" ranger measures out to compared to the trailblazer? Is trying to squeeze an extra 0.2" gonna work - I know WTB fits slimmer than what they actually measure.

Rangers will be too big. They look like a fatbike tire almost. I've ridden them and they are a very uninspiring tire.
Just picked up a Spesh GC 29x2.3 today to replace the worn to shit fast trax 2.2 that came on my bike. The GC should make a great snow/ice/wet techy tire for this winter. I already have the GC up front and like it as much as the DHF that was on my Honzo.

^^?? Too light to be durable? Personally I like a bit tougher but I'm sloppy and beat up sidewalls. Actually the tire that I'm thinking is about 2 ounces heavier than he asked for but it's worth that penalty.

New Season, New Tires, New Thread
750 is XC light. I’ve run some in that range recently and have struggled. It should be obvious from the weights, but in hand an EXO Ardent or SS is completely different than a same sized EXO DHF, DHR, or High Roller. There’s no magic compound. It comes down to material.
Speaking of Ardent, would not bang. Besides the flimsy sidewalks, you can’t lay them way over, and they don’t like to be pushed hard in corners. They don’t just let go like a Nevegal, which is probably not a good thing cause a couple of face plants might have motivated me to change them a lot sooner than I did. Incidentally, I think the Race is probably a slightly better tire than the regular. It has a small shoulder channel that the regular lacks.
Another incidentally, after a particularly messy flat, I broke down and got a Huck Norris for the rear. Too early for any conclusions, but I rode in pisgah for a few days with intentionally low pressures. I did partially rip a shoulder knob off the tire, which required two plugs and a shitload of rubber cement, but no pinch flats. Cautiously optimistic.Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

My bike frame is only 875 grams. Yup under 2 pounds so I'm not interested in putting 2 pound tires on it. Where I ride is very rocky for the majority of it. Sharp rock in many areas and the GC is near mint in over 4 months of use. The fast trax sidewalls are done. in the same amount of time here. You can push the GC as hard as the DHF that I'm coming off of but the DHF weighs about a half pound more for one tire. No need to have that extra half pound for no reason.

Anyone stretch a tire sidewall? I noticed my mountain king has a woble, but no visible damage. I wonder if it was a manufacturing issue or I fucked it up. Minions next.
