Only in SuperGravity casing though. 

Yeah, for the rear. Snakeskin is fine up front

What’s going on the back?

Onza Ibex until. I can find a semi slick in 29 with a decent casing

Rush Sports have some DD Minnion SS landing end Feb if I am not mistaken...

Slaughter grid or DH. or the new E13?

if you value grip over everything else, then E13. Granted, i'm referring to rev 0 of E13. I have rev 1 in the corner here.

I really hope they resolved that rolling resistance problem. Riding with those rev 0s felt like your big was kitted with a drag chute permanently deployed. But for a first try, the grip of that tyre was stupendous, besting even the much loved magic mary.

No stock and E13 tyres are wayyyy too expensive

You can also try the WTB Weir Wolf - not a true SS, but very similar - and the compound is super tacky. I lost mine to a sidewall cut doing a stupid line at Haka, but was one of my favourite tyres to date. With the exception the swearing that took place to mount and dismount those tyres, they sit tight!!

TBH I am gonna run an Elim out back next too when it drops locally in the BLK DMND casing. Looks like it'll roll pretty good and it already grips super well up front, so should provide ample out back too.

Also noticed the Spaz tyres roll very well for what they are. Eg: the butcher feels like it has alot less resistance than a DHF - but that could all be in my head as it's on different bikes.

2.6 or 2.6 Butcher? I ask as the 2.6 is a much stickier compound.

TBH my fav rear tyre for a long time was the Slaughter 2.3, then moved to the 2.6 when it came out. They are great. They roll very well adn brake very well and even climb tech damp stuff very well. However they wear rather fast so have a relatively short lifespan before there is a noticeable degradation in braking performance.  The 2.6 was quite an improvement over the 2.3, but I suspect that's more to do with the stickier compound and perhaps ever so slightly higher centre knobs than the 2.3, rather than the width.

But anyhoo, after fitting the Elim 2.6 up front and seeing the fitted profile and knob spacing I def think it'll be really sweet out back for all conditions. Whereas the Elim up front looks like (still to be seen) it will sukkel a little when things get more damp and/or muddy.
