Ok I have:
HR 2.5 Supertacky double ply
HR 2.35 Supertacky singleply
Minion DHF 2.35 Maxxpro singleply
Brand new Swampthing Supertacky 2.35
2 super tacky High roller 2.5 dual plys on my Patriot.
and
LUST 2.35 super tacky High roller 2.35, with a cross mark LUST out back on my Five (think it's 60a, it's not specific on the tire wall).
when the rear Super Tacky wears out on the patriot, I get a new one and put it on the front, then the old front gets relegated to the rear.
I've not changed my tyres on the Five since last June - they do the trick very well indeed.
A bit more frequently on the Patriot though - those 42a's don't last long here.. Only really an option if you're a: rich, or b: a bike shop owner 🙂
Lack of UST compatibility for tubeless with the highroller 2 is the reason... The hr2 kept popping off the ztr flow rims, not something you want doing 30mph+ down a rocky alpine slope. Hence minion and hr1 which are UST specific.
Then don't use tubeless as **** all of the serious racers on the NPS circuit do or at least did. The more predictable grip is well worth the extra weight of running tubes. Not even that much weight as no one we knew ever bothered using heavy duty tubes when running dual plys.
