I did the thing where I sheared some cornering knobs on a butcher t7, 250lbs combined bike and rider weight on rough granite. Xynotal trail and kryptotal-f enduro are on the way.
That's a known issue and Specialized actually honors their warranty for them. Check with your shop and it should be a simple process. Regardless, they are subpar if you push them hard. I tried their whole trail range (Cannibal, Butcher, Eliminator and Ground Control) and they left a lot to be desired. Good call on the Contis.
Now that the new high roller is out (and hopefully people have gotten some experience on it) I'm curious as to how the shorty fits into the lineup since it seems like there's some overlap where people would previously run shorties that is covered by the HR3.
With winter rapidly approaching, I'm wondering, what DH tires should I be looking at for cold weather performance? I'm currently running DH MaxxGrip Assguy/DHRII on my Orbea Wild emtb, which are great, but I feel like below a certain temperature, they really harden up and lose a lot of their magic grippy powers.
My home terrain is NE Oregon, semi-loamy with a medium amount of roots and rocks thrown in, standard inland northwest mountain riding, and looking to optimize for dirt ranging from hero to freeze/rethaw, and even packed shallow snow.

Continental Argotal as a front tire, maybe a Kryptotal R in the rear? The latter also allows you to choose a super soft or soft compound in the dh casing if you care about wear/rolling resistance
