    What rims are you using them on?

    Easton ARC 30s. Well, until I deal them the final death blow.
    Then probably LBs or similar.

    LB 30 mm internal. I really like the WT stuff from Maxxis accept for the availability. Seems harder than it should be to get what I want.

    ARC30 – front only (because, as Submarined hints, not a tough enough rim for the rear).

    I use non-WT on anything less than 30mm internal.

    Running a 2.5 WT Shorty on a 27mm ID no worries.

    I believe the WT terminology is being dropped as a it is apparently confusing people they had a chart up with widths before but I can’t find it

    Mikewsmith, interesting, I had read that WT was only a thing in UK/usa and continental Europe had the tyres without the WT name.

    Would be nice to get clarification of that from somewhere if we could.

    I have them on WTB i29s (29mm internal), and Lightbicycle carbons which I think are 24mm inner. So neither are quite at the official range but I don’t care, I’ve tried the same tyres on wider rims and I couldn’t say I noticed a difference. My DHFs are 2.5 non-WT so I don’t worry about a DHR2 2.4 WT on the same rims.

    All 29er, if it matters. The shorty 2.5 is ****ing awesome btw.

    2.5 DHF WTs on 29mm ID Stans Flow Mk3s for me. My favourite tyres to date.

    I’ve got a minion dhf 2.5 wt on the front of my bike – the rim is a Dt Swiss e1900. Believe it has an 30mm outside diameter but only a 25mm internal diameter.

    Had it on there a month or so, and so far it’s great. For the riding I do (hardpack trail center mostly – but very slippery when wet) it’s a big upgrade over the 2.3 dhr2 I had on there before. Both exo 3c and run tubeless.

    Incidentally the dhr2 is now on the back, replacing an aggressor for the winter. The aggressor was great for the summer but doesn’t have good drive forward if it encounters any mud. I’d say the dhr2 is much better for straight line traction, but in the corners on hardpack I’d say it’s a bit looser. Much prefer it on the back to the front.
