Best downhill tyre on the market by far. Long wearing and superb grip! Adapt very well between different terrains as well! Also the front and rear specific tyres mean each is precisely tuned for its purpose! A must have for any All Mountain, Freeride or Downhill Rider!
Great tire.The DHR I ride is a 2.30 but looks and feels like a narrower tire, at 2.25. I put the DHR 2.30 as both a front and rear set up. Only ridden on dusty hard pack and loamy conditions,this is a tight tire.I'll confirm later on muddy trail conditions and ride performance.
2.35 dual ply version on stans ZTR rims, run TUBELESS. GRIP GRIP GRIP! Fit and never regret FANTASTIC. Front and back when back wears out front to back new to front.

The Minion DHR was engineered to meet the demands of the UCI World Cup downhill races. The DHR features ramped knobs, like the DHF, but the channels in the knobs are designed for braking and accelerating.
