Hi,
Is the new High Roller II tubeless ready as standard? The old High Roller and Minions had "TR" or "tubeless ready" written on the side of the tyre. I can't find any HR II 650b tubeless ready on the Maxxis website - it just says tubeless ready in the basic description.
Anyone know what's going on?[url= http://www.maxxis.co.uk/catalog/tyre-466-18-high-roller-ii#sizes ]null

looks like they are out of all 2.3 Tubeless Ready and no indication they do a 2.4 TR.
Do they make a 2.4 TR? The Maxxis website is not clear on this.

The 2.4 isn't officially TR but I've been using it tubeless as my go-to front tyre all year. Far more consistent feel from the centre to edge in the corners and more all out grip too. The 2.4 is the one to get for a front tyre. 2.3 is great on the rear though.

What do you reckon to 2.4 on the rear? I'm riding rocky tracks so want pleanty of rubber down.

I'm not sure there's enough rubber to them - I've used High Roller 2.3 Lust's for years, and even though I've still had a few punctures (usually when well worn), no tears or slices. Switched to a HRII 2.3 and managed to slice it in two places on my first ride out! Maybe I was just unlucky? Anyway, I've decided a 800g (or whatever it is) tyre isn't tough enough on the rear for the places I ride.

What are you thinking of running on the rear then?

2.3 DHF front and 2.3 DHR2 rear for the win - ultimate combo...
I run 3c, EXO variant TR and they are awesome

I wouldn't run one on the back unless conditions were bad and you were riding lift assisted stuff. The only time I've put a 2.4 on the back wad at the Mega this year, but conditions were the worst I've ever ridden in.
