i'll be running a minon 2.7 front and highroller 2.5 rear . I have another highroller 2.5 that i'll probably throw on the front soon becasue the minion was used last season
I've heard that the SRY wears better than the ST tires. Then again, I could just be crazy and making up random crap again. Either or, you're going to be better off with the SRYs.
And I agree with Kanter, bigger tires are good up there. I'd personally go 2.7F 2.7R. It doesn't hurt to have lots of rubber under you up there - you probably won't be doing much pedaling around on flat and uphill, save maybe in the village.

the SRY wears down like an eraser, whereas the ST chunks off.
And most people do prefer the SRY over the ST, which is why there was so much outrage when they discontinued it in the states and then brought it back a few months later.
maxxis runs small so definitly a 2.7 in the front, 2.7 or 2.5 rear.
for the front: ST minnion DHF.
for the rear: DHR if you want to be able to stop no matter what, HR if you like to drift corners, DHF if you like railing corners.

i've always run skinny tires up there. everything is so buff, you really dont need the big meat. i'm typically on michelin c16 /c24 2.2's or highroller 2.35's (when its dry; not a great front tire when its wet - the c16 rules the slop).Radarr said:
Minion Front 2.5
High Roller Rear 2.5
High Roller Rear 2.5
I've run both, and what I've found is this:xy9ine said:
Smaller tires work great in the early season when everything in really buffed. Bigger tires are nicer for the latter part of the summer when you really start to get the trails torn up.
Not only that, but with bigger tires, you jump bigger. Everyone knows that.
2.5 minion front for the front and a 2.5 minion front for the rear. that tire combo rails!
geez guys its whistler the whole place is like a paved parking lot except for the nationals course
i'd run a fast rolling high roller or a semi slick 2.5 front 2.3 rear

out of the three id have to pick whistler
Anyone who says slicks and that Whistler is all buffed hasn't ridden the upper sections. Slicks would be retarded. Go fat 2.7 High rollers.
EEEasssy turbo. No one said slicks, there is a large difference between a semi-slick and a slick. That difference being the knobs on the side of the semi-slick.Transfer said:
sorry there tiger. 
If it has the word SLICK in it, you don't want it for riding most of Whistler.

I'll throw a big 'hell yeah' behind 2.5 minion F's front and rear, 60 duro if you want it to last more than a week.......I used to run 2.7's, totally unecessary....oh, and mr.arlington va, you'd be very surprised at how well slicks work......I ran a intense 2.4 zero on the rear for a couple of months and it railed.....and I ride everything, hell, I used it on my 'xc' bike for a while....
aaaaahahahahaah, read this again and laughed out loud......thanks dad........heh heh heh, tiger......Transfer said:
ahh yes thank you some one else is w/ me!FlipFantasia said:
DH semi slicks (zero, HR Slick etc) would work just fine for most of Whistler.Transfer said:sorry there tiger.
Flip lives there year round, i think he just may have some idea of what works.
they aren't fun if it's wet for any length of time, but when it's dry out they're fine....
