i have been running a minion ss exo out back exclusively on my trail bike for the past 4 years, ever since steve sheldon pointed out that you can't spell slaughter without laughter. i don't find it a compromise at all on steep/gnarly trail -- you get used to the conditions in which traction is in short supply and learn to avoid them or adjust pretty quickly, ime -- but i only ride in bc during the summers. i have a pair of specialized slaughter grid 2.8s that i haven't installed yet. they're on the narrow side for plus tires, but i'm not sure how beneficial large side-knobs on plus or fat tires are, really, anyway
