That maxxis tire they just came out with that no one seems to give a shlt about

[ustemuf]

I'm a moron, which knobs did you trim and where?

looks like these siped ones.... and he said dont trim too much, you want them sticking out past the other center knobs a tiny bit

[S.K.C.]

Sorry.

Box now douched.

...then prepare thyself...

DHR2 thingy

Bout damn time.

It's official. You're a tire nerd.

On the bright side this is probably way better for your sex life than say a computer nerd.

You think?

Given you had some issues both with HR2 and DHR2 which one of them seems better cornering wise and on what surface? I feel like I should be able to read that from your review but cant seem to compare it and since my current HR1 is bald and sends me off the track waay to often I need to find something new.

You normally ride in a bunch of wet stuff right?

I'd say hit that HR2.

[norbar]

I would say moist, for wet I still prefer spikes, not enough skill for that pro idea of running HR everywhere. Though this season was dry-ish but that is mainly due to the fact that I will probably spend a lot of time in Maribor this year.

Still I need to try them. Will probably stock up before the next trip. Thanks

No wonder, I thought you were trimming the edge knobs.

Awesome review and I can't wait to buy a DHR2!

[kidwoo]

Shlt, was that not clear? I wonder if I should put a pic in there like ustemuf did.


Norbar: if you're only asking for just 'wet dirt' in general, either would work well. I think the trimmed DHR is better all around but cutting tires is annoying. Your call.

[norbar]

I still have some time since I feel the next 2 weeks will be super busy and the next riding days will be probably July 8th and that is me being optimistic so I have time to decide. If I can manage to create some free time I will take the DHR and cut it.

Great review! Thanks. Have you used them enough to notice if the side knobs hold up a bit better? I love the DHF and HR tires but always seem to rip the side knobs in a way where they become very flexy or feel like they are folding over on turns. I know that you can't expect longjevity from a soft compound DH tire but the speed at which these tires blow out the side knobs have made them difficult to justify the expense. I was very excited when I heard the DHRII has beefier side knobs.

[kidwoo]

I've used them quite a bit. Mostly in dry rocky terrain that eats up tires more than the riding in a more temperate climate. The 60d maxxpro ones I have barely show any wear.........just little stress marks at the base of the knobs. The 3C ones a little moreso.

I don't know.....rocky stuff eats soft tires, that's just the way it is. Long ago I started running 60d rears and only soft compounds in the front. Not so much for wear but because there's a huge difference in coasting speed. But with that comes the fact that I'll go through two front tires which already wear slower to every one rear tire I have. But to answer your question, yes these should last a little longer........whether or not it's something you notice......I doubt it. The difference is just not that big that wear should be affected. But the good news is that if you run these as a front, you don't have those siped center knobs on the DHF tires that fall apart the quickest.

The DHR 2 and DHF 2 should adjust their width measurements to be closer to other tires, like call'em 2.4" & 2.6". Also, keep 60a and release the DHF 2 already.
