how bout a good ol fashioned tire thread
Backcountry has a decent sale on tires right now
Maxxis tires are great but pricey.... take a look at the new Michelins. Great tires and good prices. I believe the retail is around $75
Pirelli has just entered the market. 🤔 Here's hoping they do better than Goodyear.
What's taller? 2.40 DHR or 2.40 DHR Widetrack?
30mm width good for WT?
Not sure on height, but I run 2.4WT DHR II on 30mm inner rims and they are awesome, nice profile without being too squared off.
I am really liking the bonty 29x2.6 SE5 front and 29x2.4 XR4 rear in my hardtail.
The big SE5 is no real surprise, it is like a frickin moto tire it is a beast. But the xr4 is really surprising, very good traction, predictable, and pretty fast rolling. I certainly prefer the combo to 2.5/2.4 wt minions on my other bike (although they are 27.5 so not a perfect comparison).

XR4 2.6 on front I try 'cause round on 30?!
That looks like a really nice bike.
I have been eying up the Cotic Rocket Max...just a damn fine looking bike!

How tall is it compared to other brands 2.4/5/6 offerings do you reckon?
I’d recommend rubber; but tungstain will demand to know if it’s vegan-carbon neutral-free trade built under an oppressive regime backed by a Russian Times article saying how good said dictator is and that the west are big meanies.

Specitivity. If you ain't got it I can't use it.

It measures just over 29.5" on a 30mm inside width rim. I believe that is on the taller end of the spectrum for a 2.4.
The only thing I have for comparison is a 2.4 Minion DHR WT in 27.5. It measures right at 27.5 or just a hair over. So including ttakingwheel size into account the xr4 seems to be taller. It's a larger casing in general, it also measures wider lug to lug even though the side lugs are a little shorter than the minion. Not that this is huge news, since we all know maxxis tend to be optimistic on their sizing, but that's the comparative I have handy.
Mounted up an E-13 the other day. Couple good rides on it. Impressed. Big love for it, as big as love for DHF's and Magic Marys.
Sideknob grip is tenacious and casing is Maxxis level lovely.
2.349" width at side wall
2.371" at tread
980grams...? Shit maybe it was 930. Anyhow, robust sidewall for the weight. Knobs alone look like they weigh a kilo.
Not at all too square on my 25mm rim, very Minion-like profile.
My current fave.
