Maxxis Tyres What do you think?

What do you think of running a 2.50 Minion on the front and 2.50 Highroller on the back?

Should work fine, though I'd run a 2.35 rear with a 2.50 front but thats just my philosophy on things. Go super reezay front and 60a rear.

Or, or! Put some Larsen TT's on.. They are actually pretty grippy and light.

But yes they should be fine as a combo... Why not two of either of them? Or are you just testing to see what feels good for you?

Larsen tt's are freakin unbelievable! they look like modest xc tyre, but are capable of everything, I have ridden with them on muddy dh tracks, with several runs and no slips/slides. I am intending to change tyres, but only because they are quite worn and I want to try hansventures.

larsen on the back so it rolls fast but keep the minion on the front for a bit more grip i rekon.
