Wondering which tubeless tyres to use? I've got easton havoc tubeless ready rims and I'll be mostly riding the lakes and the odd gravity enduro. So was looking for an all rounder for these. Was thinking hans damf's?

If Specialized have a tyre for the job, it's generally a good option- their range is still a little patchy though. Butcher Control is bloomin superb as an enduro tyre, does it all, light but tough but big but grippy but not as slow as it ought to be.

Maxxis Minion DHF 3c EXO front, DHF 60a rear (soon to be DHR2 EXO).
I went EXO after blowing the front off on an uplift day. It seems to have a slightly thicker sidewall with some protection and haven't had a problem. Quite light for a 2.5" tyre too.

I've got Bonty XR4 TI (not the TLR version), mounted on dT5.1s with the Eclipse tubelesskit rim tape.
I like the tyres, and they seem to work tubeless just fine.

Well Hutchinson USTs every time for me. Toros are the nearest I've found to an all-year-round tyre. 'spensive though, if you pay rrp.

High roller front and cross marks on the back for most of the time. Alpine duties the back gets swapped to another high roller.
