Struggling a bit on maxxis tyre compounds for alpine trip.
Currently have minion dhf front 2.5 and ardent 2.4 rear, both Exo single ply and front is super tacky. Seems about right for most uk stuff, no punctures since going tubeless.
Looking at going dual ply for alps and completely confused by it all. Normally wire bead is naff but I can’t find the tyres I want in folding, just wire? Was thinking minion dhf front 2.5 dual ply 42a and either sticking to ardent rear or going for the 2.35 dual ply 60a minion dhf.
Are wire bead maxxis ok? Have stuck with panaracer fire cx and conti RQ’s for a long time both of which you have to get the posh folding versions or you die… Can’t find dual ply folding tyres though.
Cheers
