It looks like a Nevegal.... but I'll run it if Sam Hill does.

New Maxxis DH tire

Awww yeah...
Actually looks more like a Blue Groove. Probably what you meant. Nevegal is all square knobs.http://www.sicklines.com/interbike2007/maxxis/

Sorry, Blue Groove was what I was going for. Either way they're mediocre Kenda tires.
Not even close to Kenda.
"Designed with traction in mind".
Sweet.
Sweet.
I personally thought it looked more like a hybrid of the Minion DHF and the ADvantage
Those tires will have too much traction.
Gonna be hard to improve on the Minion DHF but I do need new tires. When do they come out?
They look a lot like Maxxis' ADvantage tire.
doesn't WTB have a tire that looks just like that, and is that availiable in tubeless as well.
"looks a lot like blah blah blah"
Personally, I prefer to buy tires from a company that has this as their tag line: "Designed to feel like a slip and slide on a 45 degree incline!""Designed with traction in mind".
Sweet.
i thought all tires were designed with traction in mind, isnt that the idea of rubber tires?
for the lazy . . .
i'll give em a go when they come out. i've never been displeased with a maxxis product yet.
Looks promising. I'm guessing it will fall kinda between the highroller and DHF.
Not really. Some tires are designed for low rolling resistance, or light weight. Both of which are sacraficed when you add knobs for traction.
This tire looks like it may be a race only tire. It doesn't really have enough rubber to hold up very long in dry conditions and it looks like it is a larger volume so it might be more prone to flats (but much lighter)
It would be cool to have a race specific DH tire.
Ah true... I've run the 3Cs and the SRYs back to back and I reckon the SRYs are my fav. 3Cs seem to last longer I suppose, but the SRYs let you corner off rocks better.
Looks interesting...... 
Looks like a bicycle riding specific tire.

bwhahhaha thought the same thing.
except for the mobster
almost a Mobster/Minion F mix
On a related note, a lot of folks were showing a new Eric Carter signature Kenda tread called the Excavator. Didn't get to ride it but it looks promising, a bit wider spaced than a nevegal. Anyone got a pic?
Wonder where Maxxis could have come up with the idea for that tread pattern? Hmmm.....

Helter Skelter indeed...
I never new Charlie rode DownHill...
...he definitely doesn't surf.
:biggrin:
I still have a pair of original helter skelters in my stack o tires, haha.
yah i agree with ya on that one. the mobsters i used that were 60d were junk, but for like 10 dollars a tire i couldn't complain.except for the mobster
I really don't think that the spacing looks the same as the tire pictured above.
Anyway, I think the will work great in soft to medium conditions especially with a bunch of off camber. Somewhat like a high roller with better transition knobs.

that tire was the death of many an aluminum chainstay back in the day, wasn't it bro. Some kids will never know the growing pains of DH...
