Pros: Grip
Predictability
Rolling resistance

Cons: price

Recommendation: This is the most used tire in the DH community for one simple reason. It's the best. Has won many World cups and many hearts of riders alike.

Pros: - Best DH tire on the market
- Fast and predictable
- Can be paired both front and back
- Offers plenty of grip
- Great in all conditions (except for massive amounts of mud)
- Grabs corners like no bodies business
- Durable

Cons: - Don't roll well on the flat
- Weight
- Price

Recommendation: When it comes down to it, the DHF is THE best tire on the market. When paired with a DHR or another DHF the tire combo the predictability, stability, and grip cannot be beaten.

I have tired a number of other tires over the years and each time I find myself coming back to Minions.

These tires are a tad expensive but well worth the money.

Pros: Attacks mud like it's not even there, Corners well, Grips the ground when inflated properly.

Cons: The lip of my tires seem to be unraveling a little, it hasn't caused me any problems though. I bought these tires slightly used on geartrade.com , so that may have something do do with it. They may hurt your speed in a race too.

Recommendation: Great trail tire even though it's designed for DH. I would recommend this tire to anyone who takes their corners fast and rides through lot of mud.

Pros: Good do it all tire, It was designed for DH, but works well for trails where it is wet and sloppy. Rolling resistance isn't bad, but grips very well.

Cons: weight if I have to list something.

Recommendation: Great do it all tire, I use it for trail riding in VT for the Spring and wet Fall terrain, grips well never had any issues at all with these tires.
