Haven't seen this on here, just spotted in a PB article. Looks promising...

blurb from PB...
Maxxis also had the very first example of their prototype DHR 2 rear tire on hand, so new that it had yet to receive a hot patch on its sidewall. Maxxis had it out on display despite it being the only DHR 2 in existence at this point in time. Thankfully we skipped the Interbike Fashion show, unlike some of the other media outlets, and were able to spot this hidden gem that was squirreled away with the standard production tires.
Taking a cue from many riders who preferred to run the DHF as a rear tire, Maxxis designed the new DHR 2 to make use of cornering knobs that are obviously very similar to what is found on the Minion DHF. The tire's crown knobs have also been completely revised when compared to the original, with the open central channel of its predecessor being closed off by braking lugs that span the width of the tire's crown. Keep in mind that the DHR 2 is still in prototype form, but it is clear to see that Maxxis is listening to riders and have responded with a promising looking new rear tire option. Watch this space for more information.
