I assume its the same as UST?
Light UST
Crap this is not nasher, just juan surfing from nasher's computer
So you get UST and LUST then or is a tyre that is "light" and UST considered LUST. If so what is light?
LUST are on maxxis tyres to say they are Light and UST compatible... IIRC
Lust tyres are made by maxxis and have a lighter side wall than ust. You'll see lust on xc/am type tyres and the ust on fr/dh tyres where it is needed to cut down on sidewall tears and burping. Sometimes the same tyre such as the high roller is in ust and lust versions.
Edit : Should have mentioned that lust is also a tubeless tyre.
So i would be right in saying you dont get a Minion LUST but you do bet a UST.
No becaue a LUST tyre is alos UST
Mine say Lightweight Ultimate Sidewall Technology on them, but that could be marketing speak I think.
You can get a minion in 2.5 and I think 2.7 ust but not a lust version as it is a fr tyre, think it comes in a 60a compound as well as the 42a (super tacky). Always wanted a lust/ust 2.3 minion but had to do with a normal tyre run with stans.
Well you would have [i]thought[/i] it means light UST but my Maxxis 2.35 60a High Rollers weigh a kilo each : /
Lightweight Ultimate Sidewall Technology.
That's what it stands for but as far as I can tell it means bugger all, LUST tyres work pretty much the same as standard non-tubeless tyres in my experience. Less effort to seal them up when first fitted as they're airtight though.
Yeah, my ADvantages have LUST and UST on the sidewall, pretty standard UST tyre I thought (weightwise)
Anoraks ahoy!
Ambrose, are you new here?
This is nothing, but its not the done thing to point out mild obsessiveness 8)
Been here a while. I think it's the first time I've been enticed into a tyre thread.
Blimey
It's what you get on a Japanese car.
