    Hi I’m looking for a more substantial tyre to cope with uplift days, I’m currently running specialized purgatory control 2.3 26″. Also don’t want to spend a fortune! Hit me!!!

    You’ll never regret a pair of minions tbh, they’ll function year round which is a big advantage on a budget. The singleply/exos are actually pretty tough, you’d not usually put them on a dh bike but I’m happy using mine for uplifts on the #enduro bike.

    That said, I’ve got a couple of specialized hillbilly dhs (short spike, for mud) and a butcher dh (minion supertacky copy) for sale for pretty cheap… And some highroller dualplies but we’re kind of out of highroller season so probably not ideal.

    One recommendation: Butchers with the Grid casing. Whilst a bit on the narrow side they’re a good all round tyre for enduro racing and uplift days. The thick but not quite dual ply casing is useful to for the riding mentioned. Similar price range to your current tyres.

    Plenty of 26in DH tyres on Pinkbike classifieds for cheap – Can’t go wrong with Minion DHFs or High Rollers

    I’ve found same issue with spesh control tyres, sidewalls wear out long before the tread does. The grid casings are a lot better, I have a grid slaughter and it’s much tougher, taken it off for winter now though.
    Butcher grid would be a good tyre, definitely wouldn’t run a purgatory on the front, I tried it and was lethal on mud and wet roots.
