fettling earlier and noticed that about half the blocks on the outside edge of my all singing, all dancing HR2 3C Exo MaxxTerra are nearly ripped/torn from the carcass.  not too surprising/disappointing seeing as it'd suffered about three months of Finale's rocks, a month in the Pyrenees and various other outings in Bavaria's limestone alps.

they are hanging on, but literally just by a thread. thinking of ditching it and using it as a spare winter tyre for the rear as and when.

but, what to replace it with?

another HR2 or something else? going to Slovenia in a little over a week.

got a DHF out back. DHR for the pro look?

Not sure if you should get a prize or punishment for disguising another 'what tyre?' thread.

Tyres are pretty expensive so why not stick with what you know rather than buy something on the recommendation of a stranger riding in totally different conditions on a different bike half a world away?

Don't you just need 2 sets of tyres ??

Something for rock and something for loam given you go to so many different places???

@royston.....thanks

Yup . Thinking of sticking with the HR2 or go with DHR. Found either for 48€ online.
