Minions! sp? You know what I mean. Supertackies would be the best but they will wear fast. -J

I voted for the Intense tires.

You're poll asked for the Best DH race tires at Northstar. Well, for a one-time shot (wear & long-term durability not a factor) the Intense tires are pretty awesome. But after a weekend of shuttled runs, the tires will really loose their edge.

A close second would be Maxxis tires, as it has the same wear characteristics.

I voted intense. Preferably the dh classic 2.7 front and rear.

Maxxis Minions...I like them way better than my old Intense downhills.

i voted for the michelin.... i love my michelin 2.8 in the front
I use a Maxxis Minion 2.5" in the back though and it feels pretty good :09:
