[Closed] MInion DHF or High Roller II - Which is faster rolling?

I broke my near new DHRII EXO 3C 2.4 (warped the casing) so I threw a 2.5 EXO 3C Shorty on the rear wheel - astounding how hard it was to push; like pedaling in porridge.  Never noticed that at all when it was up front.

So I'm contemplating a DD casing DHRII for the rear, but it only comes in 2.3. Not sure if I can get by with the smaller tyre, I really liked the 2.4 DHRII as a rear aside from the warping...

I don’t run anything gnarlier than a high roller. Most of the time it’s trail king and ardent combo on my trail bike.

No idea on the original question, but I just stuck a pair of HR2 2.4 exo on tonight, coming from some xking 2.4/2.2 racesport is hilarious, it's like going from skating on ice, to roller skating on grass! 😆 grippy(and draggy) as hell, well chuffed!

For Maxxis my preference is DHR2 on the front, Tomahawk on the back in dry conditions.

Wet is a Shorty front, DHR2 back. Always found the HR2 really draggy and not overly good in any conditions.

I've now switched to Michelin and the Wild Enduro is way better than the DHR2 on the front and the Force AM is great on the back.

I think the WE will stay on over the winter too, it's that good. Will probably go for a Wild AM on the back in the winter.

Michelin really do seem to have got it right with their new tyres 🙂

is there such a thing as a minion SS DD?? ive not seen any and the exo silkworm is still too fragile for peak rides (although its bloody quick as a rear tyre)

Got 2.5 DHF upfront and love it. Faster and grippier than HR i think.
