Ignoring other Maxxis tyres like the Highroller, wondering what it's most favourable competitor is?

(Nothing wrong with my Minions just wanting to gauge pricing etc on others)

PS - 26 x 2.5 UST 42a Front

Thanks

Big Bettys slightly better imo go for the Vertstar compound for ultimate grip

Muddy Marys also most excellent

That looks a brilliant choice actually I never thought of going Specialized.

The tyre seems to be lighter than Minions as well.

Will do some further research but thanks for the heads up.

Spesh aren't UST though, are they. Hence lighter (thinner sidewalls).

The name can be confusing but Marys are not mud tyres

Ahhh that could be why Butcher UST doesn't bring up many purchase points online!

Would like to stick to fully UST tyres.

How about [url= http://www.petracycles.co.uk/barracuda-enduro-tubeless-p-36440.html?source=googlepbs&currency=GBP&language=en ]Hutchinson Barracudas[/url]? Hutchinson are the best UST tyres I've used.
