I recently bought some Maxis Minion 2.35 single ply folding Tyres for my Spec SX Trail AM bike, to replace its worn out Schwalbe Fat Albert 2.35s.
I am shocked at their low volume when mounted on the wheel. Are they much smaller than high roller 2.35s?? Or Ardents?? The tread pattern looks great on the Minions but they seem more like 2.0s not 2.35s. I have a pair of Minion 2.7 double ply on my "DH" bike which are great.
Im worried i'll have to run the 2.35 Minions at very high pressures on rocky stuff due to their low volume.
Unfortunately Fat Albert 2.35s are no longer available….Now you have to buy a 2.25 or a 2.4 with a different tread pattern & compound. I heard the grip is not nearly as good as the old ones.
I wish tyre manufacturers could standardise the measurements. I remember all the "joke" sizes in the past from Continental. I didnt know Maxis do that too.
