Ive decided having a couple of super tacky high rollers for wetter days, and a specialised slaughter for bone dry days, a 3c front and 60a rear minion (dhf or dhr not really fussed) will be the best bet for everything else and be my go-to tyre set.

The issue is i cant find a hard compound 27.5 minion anywhere…. Anyone have any leads?

To be clear i already have st hr2’s and the slaughter, its the minions im after

They don’t make them in 27.5 in anything other than 3c or supertacky.

Thats a bit rubbish! Hpw do the 3c’s roll?

3c is the triple compound version, best of everything idea.

MAXX SPEED
Used primarily in cross country and enduro tires, the two compounds in the outer layer are specially formulated to reduce rolling resistance and optimize treadwear and traction.

3Cmaxxterra
MAXX TERRA
An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than Maxx Grip.

3Cmaxxgrip
MAXX GRIP
A new name for the downhill 3C compound configuration that you have come to know and trust. 3C Maxx Grip offers the ultimate in grip and slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications.
