Maxxis Minion DH R Tyre
The Minion is a very well respected tyre.
It comes in seperate front and rear varieties and is available in three different widths and two different compounds.
The 42A compound is sofer to give the best possible grip. The 60A compound is a bit harder for longer life. For out and out performance go with the 42As, but use 60As if you want a set you can leave on your bike all year. As the front tyre wears less than the rear, putting a 42A on the front and a 60A on the back is a good choice.
Typically riders run a Minion F and a Minion R, but some like to run a F on the rear for added grip.
Tubeless (UST) versions are listed seperately.
Single-ply Minions are also listed seperately which are more suitable for XC use.
