Does Maxxis make a Minion DHR II 3C MaxxGrip DD casing for a 27.5 x 2.6 tire? I can't locate one. An AI reply to a Google search says they do, but that's obviously not always accurate.

I'm currently running a MaxxTerra EXO and was looking to change it up a bit.

Good question honestly — Maxxis’ lineup can get confusing. From what I’ve seen, I don’t think they make a DHR II 27.5 x 2.6 in 3C MaxxGrip with DD casing. Usually MaxxGrip comes in DH or EXO+, and DD is more common with MaxxTerra. I’ve run the MaxxTerra EXO too and had the same thought about switching it up. What kind of terrain are you riding mostly?

It varies a bit from hard pack to loose over hard pack and rocky.

I didn't hate the Specialized tires that came on my Levo... The Butcher / Eliminator combo wasn't bad IMO. I was even considering going back to that, maybe the T7/T9 compound they have now for the rear, but I believe they only offer that on a 2.5, not 2.6.

Here's the Maxxis catalog - open the pdf and search for DD to find all the tires with that casing. It doesn't look like the DHR II 27.5 x 2.6 is offered in that casing. Screenshot below. Search for yourself in case I missed it.
Good luck.
