Maxxis minion or High roller?

JayKingFunk

I am running a High Roller Super tacky 2.35 on the rear and am about to upgrade my front tyre!

Its a 1.95 Tioga Edge. I like the grip of the High Roller but been reading about the minion as a possibility for the front in 60a 2.35.

I mainly ride XC/Freeride single track.

Has anyone tried the Minions? Opinions please people!

Minions do not roll too well, but I love the grip the give on the Derbyshire rocks, plus whats a bit of drag? Just means you have to put a tad more effort in. I'm running 2.35 front and rear Minions Super Tackies and wouldnt change them for anything.

I use ST Minions on my big bike. There a lot like the big bike it self. When your blasting down a hill and carving up the bend they come alive and are increasable. But if your using it to get up the hill there poo. I have ended up using front on both the front and back now and it works really well.

high roller is best option for all rounder, ive been out downhilling today, the trails were thick mud but they gripped on everything

I'd put the high roller super tacky up front and put somthing with less rolling resistance at the rear. The front grips over most stuff and the rear should just follow. I tried a super tacky high roller on the front and a larsen at the rear and found this was great most places.
