Vigilante with 2.6: great!

But my guess: only some first prototypes are available for professional Enduro racers right now.

The tyres will be available in the shops end of this year?

haha - that's fun indeed.

29 mm as lowest possible limit?

For a 2.6 inch tyre...?

Internal 35 mm is my pick for 2.6 inch MagicMary. Run the MagicMary with tubes and ... with sealant in the tubes...

Faaaantastic grip but not very puncture proof...

Vigilante 2.6: might be tyre to test as well. Many good options available suddenly - like Continental der baron 2.6.

Teetosugars ..

They are a totally new tyre for 2018 ..Ive always wanted to try out a wider tyre and these have been designed using the WTB i29 rims as the best fit for the tyre( s ) ...with a new ' Judge ' tyre to complement the range ..

Stupidity wide, the judge 2.4 rear won'tfit<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">ย my bike. Breakout 2.3 tough was my choice, can't get any in this compound currently. Trailboss is not s grippy. Shame as the price of these tyres was always very competitive.</span>

Wow just typing stuff ****s up, way to go stw.
