I have just fitted the Wicked WIll I have had for a few months and while I really like how light it is, nice volume and rolls fast it doesnt brake as well as I would like. I will run the WW during winter as my trail tire but I would like to start looking into another option in the meantime. Currently I have a Minion Exo up front with the WW and this is a great light weight agressive AM setup. I have bombed down some DH runs and the Minion front seems fine at 25 Psi but the WW starts flatting below 30Psi.
I have just come off a Muddy Mary front/Big Betty rear and while I love the Mary the Big Betty is average. Also light weight high volume tire with excellent straight line braking. The issue with the BB is that on hardpack it really slides nicely till you look down to see half your side lugs are ripped off.
So I am looking at the Fat Albert as another option. The WW has better side lugs and corners well on hard pack. Looking at the Fat Albert it seem to have a good mix between the WW and BB. Am I right or completely off track.
I like my Maxxis tires but they only have the Minion front in a mid weight package.
