I have a set of irc trailbears 2.35 for rear and 2.5 for front. I love the tread pattern and grip but a little concerned with reliability.
I'll be running stans.
My other choice is maxxis minion's 2.35 40d slow reezay's single ply.
Essentially wouldn't a single ply minion be approx. the same as a trailbear for reliability.

sucks for dh w/o a dh casing unless ur very small or a non agressive rider......or if u dont ride over rocks

either should be ok, but I haven't heard anyone using IRC tires for tubeless. I would try it, but inspect the sidewalls, make sure they don't have too many holes etc.

I didn't like them tubeless. Liked them a bunch for rocky XC with tubes. Madbob has a set of mine and likes them tons.

I bought a pair that said they were 2.25. They were in the box so I couldn't tell real width. They were actually about a 2.0 and sketchy as hell. No sidewall strength to speak of. Ended up on the basement floor after 1 ride.
That's my $.02

IRC tires are good, they work tubeless too...

Wanna buy some?

decided to go with the new maxxis minion freeride non ust tires 2.35 rear and 2.5 front, kevlar sides and approx. 860g per tire. Still has a burly casing with the perfect tread pattern.
