What tires are you DH/FR guys running with luck at Mammoth?

My AS-X with a 66RC2X currently has Nevegals 2.5 front and 2.35 rear.

I was thinking a 2.7 Nevegal or Blue Groove for the front and move the 2.5 to the back. What do you think?

Ran 2.5 Hutchisnon Octopus MRC Low last year and it was a blast.
The 2.5 Octos are practically 2.7 in profile.

I've had better luck with wider, i.e. 2.7 minions up there. it's so loose!

2.7 Maxxis Minion DHF in front, 2.5 Minion DHF rear. Slow Reezay/ST.

2.7 Kendas are massive.

I've been running the new Maxxis 3c compound also, and it has impressed me so far.

I have those tires on my bullit with a jr.T (soon super T will be on). That setup works good for everything. I would use that at Mammoth with what I've seen from there.

I tried a 2.5 maxxis in the front a couple weekends ago and flipped over to a 2.7 to try to deal with the kitty litter, helped a bit.

For me at a 160lbs, that would be the preferred set-up. This year I was on a 2.7 MinnionF(similar in size as the 2.5 Nev.) and a 2.35 Ignitor. No matter what tire set-up you're running in Mammoth, the first few runs are going to feel like turds... you are going to try and find something to blame. Be patient; your timing, weighting, braking, etc... all have to adapt to the terrain. Then, once yer balls drop and you've put in a good day on the hill, you can spend that "tire money" at the Yodeller buying everybody a round of swill...

[merrrrjig]

I would personally run one of those tires

First off, you must understand the proper conjugation to even enter a sentance into a translator...If not you will end up with improper spanish jibber jabber

Consiga 3.0 que la piedra pómez aspira, está eso mejor, perra

You said:
"Get 3.0 the pumice aspires, it's better, bitch".

I'm guessing you were trying to say:
"Consigue una llanta 3.0, la piedra es orible".

Good try.

My Chunders worked better than my High Rollers. The Chunders, a claimed 2.3, are the same size as my HR 2.5s were.

Beefy.

 

[PatBranch]

That thing looks fun.

 

[mandown]

i'm gonna give my maxxis advantages a try. i'm bringing a big earl 2.5 as a backup. the single-ply may not do so good

The Nevegals you have will work very well on that "dirt".

I've used Hutchinson Ocotupusses and loved em there.

I wouldn't recommend Minion F's as I don't feel it's an ideal loose condition tire (still better than most though). You can cut the back half off the non-sniped center knobs so they penetrate a little more for braking traction.

The BEST tire combo there is a Michelin comp32 (2.8) and a comp24 (2.5 - cut) combo. I ran those there a couple of weeks ago and was really, really pleased with their predictability, traction and consistency.

 

[dwnhiller]

ran a timberwolf 2.7. worked pretty cherry.

 

[Ozzer]

No one mentioned Tioga White Tiger and Placebo Tire 2.7, so I add these to the list.

That's EXACTLY the combo I ran there a few weeks ago, but tubeless with Stans and about 15 psi front and 22 rear on the original wide Mavic D321 hoops. The traction and float was freaking amazing - I love Mammoth kitty litter! Wish we had the same stuff here in SoCal.
