high roller rear 60a 2.35 swap to a minion 2 2.35 rear 60a?

Is this a worthwhile swap to the minion from the high roller. Feeling at the minute the high roller slips a little when transitioning from flat to of camber. And climbing wise struggles for grip a bit.
Any body used minion rear pros and cons?

Minion DHR 2? It might work. I used to be the only person in the world who liked the original DHR (with some knobs cut/re-shaped), for most of what you're looking for.

The new DHR2 is a massive improvement over the old one (which is what you linked to). It combines the side blocks of a DHF with something akin to the centre of the HRII to create a really great tyre. I highly recommend it if you want something stable and grippy on the back... of course its not the lightest!
