    2.35 Single ply Minions come in at around 700 grams for the folding version and despite the DH tag are definitely not downhill tyres, they're not fit for the purpose.

    My folding Supertacky's 850g :?

    I didn't think they made folding Sts, Maxxis list the wire 2.35 ST as being 825 so it looks likes you've been short changed somehow :?. 60a should be 700 but I've never actually weighed one.

    Nah, they did make them. There's one in my garage y'see. Maxxis dropped quite a few variants recently, I think for the launch of the 3C versions.

    (I've found Maxxis's claimed weights to be as accurate as their sizing, my 2.7 highroller's about 100g overweight but my 2.5 is under, lots of variation in production runs I reckon)

    Having ridden at Llandegla today in very wet and muddy conditions I can confirm a 2.35 70a Maxxis Advantage on the front and a 2.10 70a Maxxis Crossmark on the back is more than enough to clean everything. Now onto the serious business of waterproof shorts...

    i use fire xc pro's, more then enough, and have used semi slicks ( not great)


    llandegla is a bit slippy when drying, but no real issues tbh

    I that case, quit worrying about your tyres and just go ride.

    + a great big bag of potatoes, i'm not the best of riders anyway - somewhere in the middle of good and poo :lol:

    but i just want tyres that are preferably made of rubber and have some air in them, who cares what they are as long as i get around!! that said conti race kings in the mud wasn't my best idea :lol: but hey i got around 8)
