Does anyone know which blows up wider? I crammed a rr into my zesty and it buzzed the stays when cornering.

Am looking for an equivalent - in 26... but was an expensive error that I'm keen not to repeat!!

Thanks

there is a German site that lists actual sizes in tyres on different rims.

Minion SS is narrower still and probably the best tread pattern and compound of the three.

Yeah, spot on- big to small it's rock razor, then slaughter, then minion . I've not tried a rock razor but despite the skinnyness the minion ss is a much better tyre than the slaughter imo, the slaughter spits traction in a really horrible way when pedalling, the minion isn't that much grippier in a straight line but it's so much nicer about it all

Brilliant.... thanks chaps. @northwind....sounds like the Minion SS could be the one. I remember looking last year but couldn't find them in 26 - although a few places now seem to have them online.
