Tires KENDA or Maxxis
I just put minions DHR WT and DHF WT on my line elite 30s on my Slash and size wise they fit great and are awesome to ride.
I run 2.5 assguy and 2.4 dhr2 on 30mm rims, completely fine.
I’ve also used 26x2.3 Kenda K-Rads. A little heavier, and not a supple, but the tires wear very slowly. You can get a ton of road mileage out of them.
Maxxis DTH come in 2.3! But I find the 2.1's to be bouncy enough - havent tried 2.3.
Kenda happy medium is nice in 2.3. Fast rolling, not too heavy or expensive.
Works pretty well for me. I run 2.3" Maxxis DHR II.
DHR II 2.4WT exists in double down and EXO casing at least in 27.5 -- I own both.
I have liked maxxis crossmark.
In run kenda K35 tires (but not gumwall) and they are ok budget tires. They work well but are not especially light, grippy or puncture-resistant.
My Scout came from the factory Kenda tires. I am wholly not impressed with them, after 9,000 km they are just starting to scrub in for turning grip. I am also under the understanding that these factory tires are only good for 10,000km, so I will be changing none the less.
The addition of any moisture to the rear wheel, including from dew or fog reduces grip friction into the realm of nonexistence making for a disconcerting riding experience.
