You stop quicker than you think you will.

They take the guesswork out of cornering in slick, loose or pretty much any conditions. You can ride them over anything with impunity and brake with absolute certainty. The Minions sport knobs of doom with shoulders of glory. And you don't generally get them up to reckless, eye-watering speed. Sure, I’ve now ridden a few fatbikes, but those tend to be remarkably different they’re running rounded-profile tires with low, even knobs. The 2.8 Minions provided an incredible level of grab. I don’t think we’re paying enough attention to tires. For years we’ve all repeated the mantra, "the most noticeable place to splash for performance improvement is wheels," but this tire combination really brought abstract statement into reality for me. This combo created one of the most unstoppable rides I’ve ever been on. They give your bike a super menacing look. I mounted the wheels on an FSR Stumpjumper 6 fattie with 150mm travel in the front and 135mm in the rear-a bike I reviewed earlier.

Before the DHR’s (rear) redesign to DHR II, many folks might ran the DHF front and rear. Maxxis' Minion DHF (front) has long been the standard for beefy, relentless rubber. Notice the deep sipes on the center knobs. They brake and corner like no other tire we've tested. Maxxis sent TGR the Minion DHF/DHR II plus tires for some testing and we have to admit, the combo works as good as advertised.
