hey all. im looking to get new tyres for an alps trip in 2 weeks and im looking to go wider ie, 2.5 or maybe even 2.7 if they will fit??? its a 2009 enduro fsr frame with bombers on the front. just not sure if 2.7 is over kill or maybe they will be to wide??!!

Very much depends on which make of tyres if they will fit or not, but 2.7 is pretty big in any flavour so I would say no?

i thought so too. think ill stick with 2.5s

My 2008 Enduro runs 2.4″ Contis. There’s not a lot of clearance. I very much doubt you could get away with bigger.

im thinking about 2.5 maxxis high rollers as i have 2.35s on now and theres still a good bit each side

why?

just did the mega on 2.35’s Maxxis Downhill high roller rear and Minion Front in super Tackey at full tilt. I’m 95KG and any bigger volume will just slow you down. If your smashing through pure down hill then 2.5’s are needed but I would suspect a double ply is all you need.

You could get a 2.5 for the front and leave the back. Dual Ply is probably a good idea though, depending on what kind of riding you intend to do. Pedalling up any decent hills with super tacky dual ply tyres isn’t that much fun.

Remember the 2.7 Highroller is almost exactly a 2.5… You need to go up one with Highrollers and Minions to get the size you actually want.

Why 2.7s? Is there a boat coming the harbour?

2.5’s are more than enough.

ha ok. no boats needed, i hope anyway. i think im going to stick with the 2.35s high roller 60a but defo dual ply

i think i may have had landrover fever and just wanted huge tyres ha
