Anyone here have any experience with the maxxis 2.5 one ply?
I want to use them with the no tubes for DH. Will they hold on?
Thanks guys

Sidewalls too weak, begging for rim dents. Get DH casing and call it a day.

iv done it before on courses where their are no big hits just smooth baby heads and washboard stuff and they work great
yos1s25,
Not sure where you are from, but not a good idea on the east coast; lots of rocks = torn up tire...

My single ply tires lasted 1/2 run and I double flatted..... no thanks. I run the skinny dual ply. Nevegal and Minion 2.35s are the ticket.

youd be having first of all a hard time getting them to seat properly, plus they will roll in corners if you dont have a very wide rim, and for going at any speed where you actually have a use for 2,5 tires, the sidewall will be a liability. it can be done but its usefullnes is questionable.

I wouldn't do it. I run 2.5 minion dual ply with no-tubes, and the sidewalls still seep air. Never had any trouble other than that though.

you'll rip through the sidewalls too easily. I run ust tires ghetto tubless, no problems, and alot cheaper than buying the stans kit. I don't even have to run sealant or anything like that. I've had the best luck with 2.5" minnion dhf front and rear.
