I'm going to Shaums March Donwhill camp on June 28th and I'm looking for some new tires? I was looking at the Intense EX DH in 2.7. Any other recommendations? I heard its pretty muddy but I've never been. Thanks.
Tires for Snowshoe

When it's wet 2.3 Swampthings rock. Better switch when it gets dry however. I like Minions or High Rollers in dry conditions there.pntballpunk51 said:

I rode the Minion 2.35's this past weekend and it was pretty muddy. there were a few place on "sweet dreams" where I wish I had better traction, but other than that I did fine. But yeah, when it's wet, I'd suggest the swampthings, and for dryer conditions, something fast cuz you'll fly.
if your running intense tires i would run intruders they're the best all around tires for the shoe.
Michelin comp 16 front, comp 24 for the rear.
If it gets a bit wetter/muddier, run dual comp 16's.

how long would sticky rubber last?
Longer than you will if you don't run them!I run the Maxxis 42,one season for
front,2 or 3 rears for season.

I agree. I ran 2.7 ST minions all last summer at snowshoe. They worked great in almost every condition. I am also hearing good things about the WTB Timberwolf. The shop is supposed to be carring those.gschuette said:

2.7 stick-E nevagals kick almighty @ss at snowshoe, with the exeption that they throw mud at you the whole time.
Maxxis Minion F on the front and High Roller on the back. Best combo for Snowshoe and most everywhere else.
This setup works great.Jayridesacove said:
Last year, in the mud bog, Michelin cut my Comp 16's 2.5 to where they cleared mud better than a pure mud tire.
how were the knobs cut?Jeremy R said:
on the 2.5's the two side by side paddle knobs are cut in half.Jayridesacove said:
You cutoff the outside half on both sides, and that tire works like a mud tire that also grips on the rocks.
