Thoughts on running Maxxis WT offerings on i40 rims?

mikeetheviking · Feb 18, 2018

Hey guys,

Anyone have any thoughts on running the new Maxxis WT 2.5-2.6 tires on i40 or wider rims?

Maxxis says they are optimized for 30-35 id rims.

Honestly I think my 32mm ID rim’s are too wide for the WT DHF and DHR II. Far too much side knob contact causing them to ride very sluggishly.

I run 2.5WT DHF and Aggressor on i30 rims and think its about perfect.

I use i40 rims on my 3.0 plus tires.

FWIW Salsa just dropped the new 2018 Deadwood Sus

They all come with 2.6 WT tires on Duroc 40 rims.

Previous year models used asym i35 rims
