Anybody have any luck finding a shop in the North Van/Van area that carries these? I'm curious to try these in 29. T-mac mentioned Velocity in Langley. Any others?
EThirteen 29 tire local?
I couldn’t find them in Vancouver in stock. Jenson USA was faster (48 hours) and cheaper than ordering through any of the local shops I called to source them.

They soft mine on front show wear. But mine's 27.5 maybe a 29 will last longer because fewer revolutions, eh?

I rode the TRS race version this winter front and rear. Slow, fairly quick wearing, incredible grip.
Thanks guys, the TRS+ was on sale for $50 USD so I did 1X race and 1X TRS+. Totally reasonable prices IMO. I'm definitely not unhappy with my Minion 2.5WT/Aggressor 2.5DD. It's just that they are getting haggard. Apparently to arrive Friday July 6. Not holding my breath though....but fingers crossed for TransBC.

I ran the same Maxxis combo and switched to a Shorty2.5WT and a HR2 2.4WT and love the combo much better.

HAven't tried a Shorty in the 29er size yet. Have had DH2s on the front and back. I do like the traction, but I burn through the rears in about 2-3 weeks. And this year, for whatever reason, I've had bad luck killing EXO tires at the bead. After moving to Double down, I'm killing rims...unrelated I'm sure. The bonus of DD though is that I can ride out on a broken wheel (thrice), and still reuse the tire (even tubeless)!
Love the TRS tires. I'd recommend the TRS+ for the rear as it's a slightly harder compound. Wears considerably slower than the TRSr and is a bit faster rolling. Best grip I've ever experienced.
