Will Minions perform better in wet/muddy than a Nokian NBX DH?
Spunger said:
I'm with this guy, I've raced 2 years on this set up and never had a problem, but I did find that if you go super tacky in the front and 50dur in the rear you get a little less rolling resistance and a front end that hooks it up. minions hook that sheit up 2.
I would think so... I've never owned Minions so I'm not sure whether they pack-up in mud or not? Nokians don't have the best grip around, especially in wet, but they are good allrounders though.math2014 said:
The answer to the original question is Michelin Comp 16 2.5 F/R. They work well in pretty much every condition and the grip is killer. The only set-back is that they don't roll that well.
Ok i was uber happy with dry riding with my NBX DH 2.3, but when i used them a month ago in deep muddy conditions.... i couldnt steer.
For trail/FR/DH as a combo...
Minion DHF ST 2.35 single ply front and rear.
for DH only...
Minion DHF ST 2.5 UST front and rear.

If it was one set of tires for all year/all riding then:
Kenda Blue Groove 2.5 Kevlar on the front
Kenda Nevegal 2.5 Kevlar on the rear
Double ply sidewalls are too heavey for all-around riding which I do more of.
Kenda Blue Groove 2.5 Kevlar on the front
Kenda Nevegal 2.5 Kevlar on the rear

Maxxis Minion 2.5 40D F, High Roller 2.5 40D R SSSSSSSSsllllooooowww Rrrreeeezzzzzaaaaaaayyyyyy
Hard one, since you added "trail" into the mix. I'll go with Kenda Blue Groove DH 2.5 front, Kenda Nevegal DH 2.5 rear. Me likey, just great rubber for lots of different conditions. Maybe a little slow for "trail" but being about 200lbs I need big tires for dh.
If you remove "trail" from the mix, switch to 2.7 in front for most rides, and a 2.7 in the rear for the real gnar.

minion slow reazzy rear or high roller 2.35 double ply
minion rear with big knobs cut off on side in slow reazzy in 2.5

ok, eliminate all the sponsored riders from this thread first-off.
i'd run either a comp 32/comp 24 combo, or a 2.5 minion SRY front/2.5 high roller 60D rear.

For what you'll be riding that combo is fine.
How will the information differ?narlus said:
because yr free will is taken away.
Front: Maxxis minion F 2.5 SRY
Rear: Maxxis highroller 2.5 (or 2.35 even) SRY or 60a
Alternatively, if you never have mud:
Front and rear: Michelin Comp24 2.5
Or if you do have mud occasionally:
Front and rear: Michelin Comp16 2.5
My SRY minion front is still going alright after 9 months (dh riding only), the rear got pretty torn up though.

Best of all

For trail/XC: Continental Vertical Pro UST
For lift/FR: Michie Comp 16 2.5
When I went to Whistler last year, that's what I took with me. Fortunately, swappin tires with UST is pretty easy.

Yess Britt the SRY does roll wat slower than 60.The 2.3 i run on the front isn't too bad if it has some air in it,but for the most part it is very noticeable.
I usually run 60 on the back except for race day.

For actual all-around use I'd go with a 2.2 comp 16 in the front and 2.2 c24 in the back.
