The tires…I just like the Intense Tires in DH tread pattern. Most importantly for me, they’re predictable and they grip well. I started with Maxxis Minion DHF/High Roller combo which was great, but just doesn’t suit my style. I don’t like the big float zone between center knobs and side knobs. When I leaned aggressively, there was no issue, but during ‘less-aggressive’ turns they felt skatey to me. Their 2.5-inch width felt like 2.3 which didn’t sit well with me. I went 4-ply because I hate changing flats…I freaking hate it! I’m not racing and I’m not concerned about acceleration, so it’s a ‘real world’ set up that is maintenance-free and fun. Keep ‘em around 20 or 22psi and have fun plowing, turning and ripping…just don’t tell the internet weight dorks.
