I've been running 27.5+ tyres (2.8 Maxxis DHR II F/R ) on my HT since Autumn, and just put in a CushCore on the rear a few weeks ago. I only got a handful of rides on Fromme/Seymour before I decided to shut things down temporarily but I quite like it thus far. The rear end seems a little more damped when going fast over the rough stuff, and is nicely supportive at 16psi. No traction complaints - though I am curious if it would improve if i were to drop even lower. I haven't tried lower than 15psi and that was on a particularly wet and greasy day, but I am curious to see how it goes once I start riding again.
