Is one more suited to a certain terrain or just different strokes for different folks.

HIgh roller has more bite in the wet the DHF is a little more predictable in the corners.

I find the long shaped knobs on the DHF suited to cornering slightly more than the general purpose High Roller.

But the differences are slight. There's more difference in a few psi than between them.

I happily use HR2's on my YT all the time, whereas on the Scott Trail bike, in the winter I use a Minion on the front for grip.

The HR2's are so good I dont ever bother swapping them for any of my other tyres.

So, what Im saying is not much difference.

Just had a quick look for some 2.8 HRs... a penny off £100 per end!!!!

Is this Brexit gone mad! Think I will be waiting a bit before changing the rubber on my plus wheels (I wanted something with a bit more bite and stronger casing than the Bontrager jobbies that came on it, not that I have used them yet as it is all a bit slip slidey out there just now!)

I saw them for £89 on Nextdaytyres.
I just presumed that's how much big tyres are..
