I had better luck with the casing on the Minion than the XR casing. In either case, SE is better.
Full disclosure: I love the Minion Fr in 29x2.3”. The centre to side knob transition is perfect. It’s okay in 2.5” (lots of tires I like better) and I’m not a fan of the 3”.
The centre to side gap on the 3” Minion Fr is too huge/vague. It was fine (being a Plus Tire) until I tried the SE4 but the SE4 is so superior on the trail I recycled the DHF tires I had.
If I was going to try another Maxxis it would be the 3” DHR2 for sure.
