Did a couple of laps of Buxton yesterday and tried the following tyre combo's:
Minion DHR II 29x2.4WT max terra front / Forkaster 2.3 exo/tr rear; &
Minion DHF 29x2.3 max terra front / Aggressor 2.3 exo/tr rear.
Raining when we got there but the ground was grippy and pretty good, wet clay in patches but not sloppy. In the first combo the DHRII front felt solid, but felt slower than the DHF which felt just as planted. The Forekaster on the rear felt fast, but I didn't really test it's braking grip that much. The second combo the DHF front which felt real solid and faster than the DHR, but the Aggressor seemed to roll slower on the rear than the Forecaster. Think the Aggressor will have far more braking than the Forekaster, but it seems to run slower. Felt like the DHF front with the Forekaster back would be the best of this combo, or go Aggressor rear for slightly slower but more braking.
