Giant tires
I don’t know anything about downhill. I go on pinkbike sometimes, but I can’t figure it what those people are talking about. Too many motorcycle helmets, goggles and pushing bikes up hill. I thought you get good at riding a bike to avoid walking. Then again when they jump off cliffs, I’d probably be waking that.
Anyway, a few years ago I bought a pile of tires for $50*. Included were a number of downhill tires that I haven’t know what to do with. A lot of them are tubeless, so they’re also really hard to mount. However, there’s a set of Maxxis Minions that are not tubeless and are 2.5″s. 2.5″s are usually no trouble in the back, but I don’t really have a frame with that kind of clearance in the rear. Actually, that’s not true. I somehow got it to for my mongoose Alta. I took it or yesterday and now I understand how those downhill guys stick to the trail so well. These things are amazing. Maybe not amazingly fast on pavement, but sure footed beyond what I’m used to.
