One or The Other

I need new tires to replace my worn out Kenda Kinetics and have narrowed it down to two tires. The Maxxis Highrollers 2.5" and the Intense EX 909 2.5". I cannot fit over a 2.5". Which one would be the best tire for freeriding?

wrong forum :(
but i like maxxis - i'm running mobsters.

I'm not a fan of either, sorry. I would recommend 2.5 Michelins in a heratbeat.

I have tried quite a few intenses and I must say I really like the overall feel of them. That is what I would go for but I have never tried the Highroller.

i would say yes to highroller cause i have been riding one for a long time and it is holding up really well, but i also ride a .243 duro tire and those are excellent for all around riding.

I have the 2.7 Intense 909EX. So far they are holding up well. The Nokian NBX DH 2.5 and the Michelin 2.5 would be my other choices.

what kind of terrain and weather conditions u ride in mostly???

that makes a huge diffferene in tires u should be looknig at…

with more info i can provide a better opinion…

Hardpack, Mud, Loose Rocks.

^ for that i would get the 909, but i think a michilen 2.5 would be the best, or maxxis minons. highrollers are terrible in lose rocks and mud imo.

the 909 looks like a better tread pattern for you. but seriously the 2.5 michinlen is sick.

Intense tires for you sir….

they excel in those conditions…

if u ride on wet/rooty trails i'd suggest teh Michelins…

i dotn care for Maxxis at all… not that its a bad tire i just think there are better options out there..such as the tires listed above…

What Michelins are the best?

they all work good, u just need to decide on what size u wanna run…

i realyl am impressed with the comp32… but its a 2.8, not everyone wants a tire that big….
