totally agree. ALthough there is a maxxgrip DHF EXO, and Ive seen DHR II Maxxgrip EXO on a canyon Torque (OEM Only )?

Currently running a trsr MOPO front and a gen2 LG1 trsr rear. It’s slow rolling but I’m pleased with the grip. I was running MOPO front and rear but had a nasty puncture on the rear that sealant nor a plug could fix. Had to beef up the casing in the rear because their light casing tires don’t hold up. Waiting on my new WAO Unions to arrive so I can try out the Michelin Wild Enduros.

My frustration with Maxxis is sometimes I think they are backwards with their casings and compounds. I’d really like a DD or DH disector in the rear, in their dual compound. I’d like an Exo+ casing minion dhr2 (or DHF) in max grip. But they seem to only do lighter casings in maxterra and heavier casings in maxxgrip. Many exo casings are available in dual compound, but exo alone isn’t always the best out back

Yes, the ethirteen A/Ts are an amazing front tire. I loved the 1st gen. The 2nd gen were ok, i think the 3rd gen is a lot more like the 1st gen. What I do remember is that they are slow rolling, maybe a plus compound in the back would help, but I’m pretty sure I would not want mopo front and rear, mopo in the rear will be too slow, too grippy, and too fast wearing. Otherwise I like them up front more than minions

I'm was running Vee Flow Snap+ (2.6" and a proper 2.6" at that!) front and back on my hard-tail. Still have some of my best times on that setup. Currently on DHF and Spesh Slaughter in the rear for winter fun drift :D

Front: Maxxis Minon DHF 26" x 2.35 dual ply Rear: Maxxis Minon DHF 26" x 2.35 dual ply when the rear is too worn I remove the wheel, I replace it the tire mounted on the front wheel, while on the front wheel I mount a new tire always maxxis

Do any folks have an opinion about the eThirteen LG1 moto or TRSr or any other eThirteen tires?

DHF or assegai 👍

Running WTB vigilantes front and rear, 2,6" 650B Running them with a fast rolling, tough compund rear and high grip, light compund on the front. Gives me very predictable grip both front and rear and the tread pattern works well in most condintions.

Aquila front and rear, DH casing Really good combo. Very predictable, and the rear tire wears off better than I thought. They are a bit too heavy for 29 but you can run lower psi as the wall is very strong and has a wire bed. Another good choice, is DHF front and rear, Maxx Grip Front and Dual compound rear. If you ride both maxx grips the rear tire will be destroyed in a months time. I also like DHR2 front and rear but the problem is that in DH casing the only option for 29 is maxx grip...

For the last very long while, it's hard to go wrong with a: Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5 ... front and rear. Every venture in another direction over the years keeps me coming back to the above. You might be able to eek out smidgens of performance with other combos on certain days, but in general if these do you wrong, it's hard to say it was the tires.

Usually a minion exo or DD on the front, whatever maxxis or equivalent in a DD or DH with decent knobs on the back, I usualy go with whatever is cheap or on sale

Only tires I’ve run the same F&R have been WTB Breakout (bummed they’re no longer made), Hans Dampf (loves them, just didn’t last though it was the early version), Conti Trail King (no good for my conditions, loose and rocky)

Michelin Wild Enduro Front Gum-X, both front and rear 👌🏼

I’ve run the Vee Flow Snap WCE’s front and rear, and I’ve never experienced better grip. Currently running the DHF and Dissector in the rear, and it’s pretty good, but I plan to go back to Vee—best grip and trail damping ever.

I've run Minion DHF front and rear for years until I recently tried Onza Aquilas front and rear. They have been amazing, and I was especially impressed with their performance on a recent muddy day at Thredbo. I definitely prioritise grip over rolling resistance though! I tried running a Minion semi slick on the rear of the enduro bike for a while and I didn't get along with it at all.

good to know. I have been looking for a dual compound DD or DH casing tire for a while (excluding the aggressor). Where do you buy this tire? I have had a hard time finding this tire almost anywhere online, including QBP, Jenson, etc.

For me it truly depends on where I’m riding as that dictates my tire choice, Big Bear Minion’s and off the mountain on So-Cal’s clay hardpack something else. I could not ever choose just one tire my brain won’t allow it.

I Actually like the WTB Vigilante lite HG Front, Vigilante tough FR rear.

I have got a magic Mary up front and a DHR2 out back on my 29er. it does all I need it to do on the wet and dry rocks, root and everything else here in HK.
