I see the new Hillbilly in 2.4, no more 2.3 and 2.6. I am guessing that they don’t sell many of these tires (as many people consider them specialist designs, same with the Shorty).
So making 4 molds probably seems like they thought wouldn’t get their money out of that.
I also notice a trend of many people dissing 2.6 sizes, so I think demand for that size is diminishing.
I too would love to try a 2.6 Hillbilly Grid Trail T9. In the spring and fall we ride a neighboring area, fairly flat, and sandy, loose rock, gravel, roots and leaves.
In the wet it can get a bit loose, I like more volume to wrap over that stuff, so that at least some part of the tire is still making contact with something grippy, instead of just pinging and sliding every which way.
But I certainly don’t need the Gravity Casing on the front for that.
