In absence of mountains and bigger hills where i live I run a 4x as do-it-all 'micro-dh' bike, so there's a lot of sprinty pedaling and tyre and rim weight is therefore extra crucial (I use Mavic 719's).
I just got a set of single ply 2.35" Swampthings in ST because my buddy swears by their lovely controlled skids, but they puncture too easy; ~850gr is too little and ~1160gr (2.35 HR in ST) is too much.
So maybe 2.1" dual ply (with XC tubes) is my answer, at least for the rear? I wanna recollect seeing DH tyres in 2.1" but Maxxis don't seem to have them any more..
Any suggestions and wisdom is welcome.
