2.7 maxxis on boxxer
- Thread starter Scurry
- Start date
Used a 2.7 minion front all last year on a boxxer, no issues. The 2005 boxxers are even wider.
I use a 2.7 mobster on a 2002 box, no problems ever.
40a 2.7 or 2.5 minion front, highroller rear 2.5 in 42Scurry said:
2.7" Minion DHF SR, 2.5" Minion DHR SR. I would not recommend ST as it wears faster. If the conditions aren't so loose, I would run a 2.5" High Roller SR F and 2.5" High Roller SR R. Those are my Maxxis-only opinions.
ST wears faster than SR? I thought Super Tacky was 42 durometer, and SR was 40? Is there something I'm missing?erikkellison said:
I ran a Highroller in the front, Mobster in the back for East Coast Racing for awhile. If its Maxxis only, I think thats a pretty good combo.
(I now have a nevegal 2.7 front, and a highroller 2.35 rear)

only reverse it! The mobster is a pretty front specific tire, with great cornering knobs. Pretty horrible ont he rear in my experience. The HR is better suited as a back tire but can be run on both (many do).BigMike said:
Interesting, I had an opposite experiance. I like the Mobster in the back for bouncing through rock gardens. It also allows a certain bit of "float" through berms and the such.Transcend said:
Just another example of "whatever works best for you!"
Nope. According to Go-Ride (and Maxxis indirectly through the phasing out of ST tires), SR "wears better." I have heard from friends that there's chunking problems with ST's.WheelieMan said:
Well, I've been told that ST's are on the way out because SR's wear better AND grip better. Apparently the ST's are more prone to complete knob failure. Seems like a no-brainer, unless you get a killer deal on ST's.
It will fit. Hell you can run a 2.7 Maxxis on an XC bike, as they are way smaller than claimed.
i.e. my Kenda 2.20 Kinetics are bigger than my 2.5 Minions. The Kenda measures at exactly 2.20, and the Minion is 2.18.

on my DHi i have mine set up with an Intense 2.7 (2001 boxxer team) and a 2.6 in the rear, a specialized best setup ive had so far
I usually run a mobster SR in the front and either a reg mobster or HR in the rear. If the course is buff, check out the lopes. I've run these both front and rear and they definitly hook up. If you don't have to worry much about flatting on rocks, it can be a good choice.
