@ccolagio - exactly what B.Radly said. Everyday riders started running 30+mm rims and our 2.3 and 2.4 width - and even old 2.5 - tires would end up too squared off. The side knobs would be on top of the tire which isn't ideal for cornering. It was a major undertaking to switch to WT as it required re-engineering our current treads and cutting entirely new molds for them. Narrower rims are generally lighter and our tires still perform well on them (see any WC DH or EWS podium for proof) which is why many pros run such setups. Hope...

Yeah, yeah, but have you ever known me to be patient ? And yes, many hate MaxxTerra but the rolling resistance differential is massive. I love DH tires but can't justify the lack of speed for 99% of my riding.

Our WT tires are designed around 30-35mm rim widths. That means they’re ideally suited to those widths, not that they won’t work on narrower rims. We developed WT tires because of the trend toward wider rims in the market. As a world class athlete, Troy’s needs/demands on his equipment is much different than yours or ours.

If you're 220 pounds and you're folding tires, just take the weight penalty and ride the proper tires. Bike weight is not as important as the industry tells you, and you'll get used to the extra weight if you choose to not dwell on it during your rides. I'd recommend at least DD tires front and rear, with inserts added if you're denting rims or still rolling your rear tire. I weigh 190 pounds and live in the rocky part of Washington, and I used to be fast once. I run DD front and DH rear, and I wouldn't go...
