Ha. Maybe for a rear tire then.There's a reason for that.

Looking for a Minion DHR II with the DD casing, but they only come in a 2.3 from what I can tell, which is pretty pinner. /QUOTE]
As compared to what? If you're talking 2.3 DHR 2 vs 2.4, it's a combination of knob size and casing volume.Anyone know if the 2.3 DD's knobs and channels are a lot smaller, or the overall casing volume, or both?

What's German for "knob vomit"?Hans dampf. When the answer to ''Which of these tread pattern drawings do we go with'' is yes.
I thought it is Hans Dampf.What's German for "knob vomit"?
Oh yeah, I just recalled...
Indeed, but their tires are the tittays.Ahhh...fuck Specialized.
Go ride one. Best trail bike compound out there right now.Ahhh...fuck Specialized.

Control casing is for XC weenies. GRID is significantly better, the Slaughter GRID is my favorite semi-slick.View attachment 129347 I unfortunately tried the Slaughter in the control casing. I don’t recommend. This is after a few months.
Yeah, I see that . If you ride flow trails or gravel roads they would work but I ride in a place mainly with roots and rocks = no bueno.Control casing is for XC weenies. GRID is significantly better, the Slaughter GRID is my favorite semi-slick.
I've tried other semi slicks, I keep going back to grid slaughter.Yeah, I see that . If you ride flow trails or gravel roads they would work but I ride in a place mainly with roots and rocks = no bueno.
Have you tried the minion SS? I’m trying that tire next.
I think you'll like it. I had that tire on my rear on a trip to Moab last year. You know that bit on porcupine where you just try to keep your speed and double up rocks? Well I came up quite short on one. Huge "thud" on the rear. I was expecting to hear the rear tire blow up. It didn't. But my carbon wheel did manage to break a spoke.just put a Aggressor 2.5 WT in the DD casing on the rear. Let the psi experiment begin. I usually run 27r, hoping that can safely come down a touch. TIGHT bead on the install.
The SS is too square unless on a 20mm internal rim I was riding the side knobs on z 23mm rim. The 2.3 Aggressor is better IMHO shave it if it's not to your liking.Yeah, I see that . If you ride flow trails or gravel roads they would work but I ride in a place mainly with roots and rocks = no bueno.

120 tpi, mid weight casing made by CST like maxxis so yeah.Is that Spec version of double down??!!
Yep, DH, and mid weight casings seep sealant. I'm hoping one day we figure out how to reliably run tubeless dry. Sealant has never done anything for me other than set up tires. Typically it just weeps out the sidewalls, and piss all over the trail after a pinch.I don't know why anyone thinks a weeping tire means it's no good. That will seal.
I don't think I've ever had any tire from any manufacturer ever not do that. My dh tires do that.
I like it. Ran 25psi (!) front and rear and White Ranch. Awesome. Great cornering grip, seems to roll fast over everything up/down.I think you'll like it.

How often can you case the shit out of something, and the tire is okay, but the wheel broke a spoke? IDK, but prolly not very often...sweet tire maxxis!
Shorty actually works really well there, at least as a front tireI’ve yet to figure out which tire is best for sand and kitty litter, now that I’ve decided DHF is not it.
i had to air it up yesterday during my ride because of the weeping. It’s on both sides and all around. I figure if it’s not sealed in 3 months it’s not gonna happen. I’ve used a half a bottle of Stan’s on this thing hoping it would seal.I don't know why anyone thinks a weeping tire means it's no good. That will seal.

Every Onza Ibex, Maxxis HR2, Geax Gato and Vittoria Goma I've ran tubeless didn't weep at all. One Specialized Butcher did, and so did the Schwalbe something I ran many moons ago.I've never had any tubeless setup that didn't leak some. It's weeping because you're scraping off the outer layer of rubber. It will seal. Again, every tire does it, especially as it gets scraped more.
Really? A buddy who I think is usually not a moron tried one of the new Hillbillies and thought the rubber sucked. You're talking about the Gripton, right?Go ride one. Best trail bike compound out there right now.

I haven't ridden any recent Specy tires so I have zero data points.
This tire has about 20 days on it.I can see the threads on the sides.
Was coming here to say the exact same. I had a great time on my Butcher 2.3's. On the new build I went back to Maxxis for the 2.5 axxxion....I wish to god spesh made a 2.4 or 2.5.
