Heya Trekkies 😎
Has anyone on here had experience with Maxxis 2.6 tires on 2019 Remedy's? More so in the rear. I am hoping to go 2.8 front 2.6 rear as i am aiming to build a Monster Truckin' Remedy with some Line 40 rims 😜

Thanks

2.6 is fine. I'm not confident a 2.8 would fit, though.

The 2019 Remedy can fit 2.8 tyres.

i ran 2.8 minions on the stock rims, fit with plenty of clearance. lots of grip, but lots of rolling resistance too. i settled for a 2.6 dhf in front for great cornering and 2.5 agressor in the rear for faster rolling. very good combo.

i will say maxxis 2.6 is a bit smaller then bontrager 2.6, and maxxis 2.8 is only a bit bigger then bontrager 2.6. the knobs are bigger on either size maxxis though.

Thanks for your reply. So the 2.8 cleared the fork with no problem?

yes with the stock rims. i dont know what will happen if you use line 40s though.

Thanks mate. Went to the LBS today and disscussed tire options. Looks like a 2.8 DHF/2.6 DHR2 will be the combo. Its a bummer the DHF doesnt come in maxx grip or the Assegai doesnt come in 2.8 but oh well

can you run a 2.6 on a 40mm rim?

According to the Maxxis website the 2.6 will work with 35-40mm and those in the know @ the LBS confirmed.
