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.
Pros: fit great, awesome ride
I run 2.5 assguy and 2.4 dhr2 on 30mm rims, completely fine.
Pros: completely fine
Mine is so great in the city, can whip a U-turn anywhere and gets 30-35 MPG no matter how you drive it. I am kind of sad you can't get cars like this anymore, but it is kind of hard to justify when something that's an order of magnitude more refined is only like $1500 more. But there is something fun about ripping around in something 153" long that only weighs 2300 lbs. It never needs brakes and doesn't eat up tires no matter how "spiritedly" I drive.
Pros: great in the city, fun
Cons: small, unrefined
Vehicle:
Toyota Yaris
Maxxis DTH come in 2.3! But I find the 2.1's to be bouncy enough - havent tried 2.3.
Pros: bouncy enough
I drive a Prius and it handles fine in winter. Although it burns more fuel during winter because of the heating. Only thing I would strongly suggest is getting a quality set of winter tires. Only time it struggled was getting up that steep incline on King Edward after Rideau on glare ice..during rush hour. I still made it just fine while other gas powered cars were spinning their wheels.
Pros: handles fine in winter
Cons: burns more fuel
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Works pretty well for me. I run 2.3" Maxxis DHR II.
Pros: works pretty well
DHR II 2.4WT exists in double down and EXO casing at least in 27.5 -- I own both.
I have liked maxxis crossmark.
Pros: good rolling
Ardent rolls well but is lacking in traction. If you want to take corners fast, I would stay away from Ardent in the front - there is a dead zone between the middle and side knobs that will feel vague especially when cornering.
Pros: rolls well
Cons: lacking in traction
I purchased a new MTB with the Minion setup, and figured that since they’re so well renowned, I might as well give them a chance. After 250 miles, I’ve decided that I despise these tires more than anything else I’ve ever ridden. The DHF has NO CORNERING GRIP. I have washed out more times on this tire than I have in what feels like my entire riding career prior to using the DHF. I’ve pinch flatted two DHRs. One sidewall snake bite, one puncture straight through the middle of the tread. Lastly, they have god-awful climbing grip.
Cons: no cornering grip, poor climbing grip
Mileage: 402 km
