I have heard a lot of good things about the Maxxis Minion tires. I also like Michelin tires. Probably going to go with the Minions next just to see what else is out there.

Oh fair enough then, yeah i'd recommend maxxis minions or ardents, but yer maybe go for at least dual compound, also what chain guide will you be running?

Chain Guides are a b*tch to fix on the Reign's. I have an 08 Reign X0 and the chain guide have been giving me head aches.

I would agree that single ply are relativly light but depends on what type of riding you going to be doing on your Reign. I ride my everwhere including DH/Freeride/Lift Acess ( the shore, Whistler..etc) so Im running Intense Tyres DH comps 2.45. A friend of mine is running Minion DH tubeless and he really loves it, they rool fast and pretty grippy as well.

Also I would go with Avid's over Hayse. All my friends that ride Hayse Strokers wish they had Juicy 7's or Avid Elixers.

PS. Reigns are amazing bikes I really love mine. Check on some pics of it on my profile if you want. I recently dumped a bunch of $$$ into it as well.

Cheers.

If you riding stuff like the north shore I would not run sigle ply tires. I got a 3 pich flats in 2 days or riding on my sigle ply Kenda Nevagal's and that was enough for me. I would rather run a heavier tire then walk my bike downhill.
