minion dhf for rear?

Bigun6767

Just throwing this one out there. Can I use a minion dhf on the rear of my full sus? I know they are designed for the front but I noticed MBR used them front and rear as control tyres when testing enduro bikes last year! I run a dhf 2.35 Maxxpro 60A on the front and can totally trust this.Usually paired up with a Maxxis ADvantage 2.1 is good for speed but sometimes lacking in rear grip when climbing.I am looking for a better rear tyre but the DHR looks like it may have a higher rolling resistance?(not the dhr2).Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I got a dhr 2 last week instead of hr and its so much more grip and rolls so much easier.

Found on steeper stuff, you lose a bit of braking traction with a DHF on the rear compared to a DHR (running the DHF on the rear with the rotation going the wrong way otherwise you have fuckall braking grip).
DHF is a lot easier to get going and rolls faster than the DHR.

They are designed for front of rear use.

I use DHF's front and rear on mine and haven't noticed any problems.

My Scalp came with dhf front and rear. It's quite a popular set up for downhill.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Purchased a dhf from CRC.Just about to fit it but which way? I noticed on RockmonkeySC's Scalp they are both facing forward. Is this the way to go?

Either way works depending on how you ride.
