I currently running Maxxis Ikon 2.25 front and rear tubeless, they've been ok but the rear is wearing down and starting to feel a little squirmy and the front, although it has plenty of tread suffered a sidewalk tear from some fencing wire that I have repaired and seems to be holding air ok.

I e seen some older reviews of the on one tyres but mostly referring to the single compound versions in either 26" or 29" versions. I'm after anyone's experience of the combo in the current dual compound version, they seem cheap enough to take a punt on but at the same time I don't want to waste money on something that I may not get on with. Is anyone using this combo?

I'm using CM front and rear on my bouncer and have been impressed with them in the recent slop.

Running that combo in a 26" and it's a bit draggy. Picked up the same for 27.5 and noticed the tread was not as deep so might roll a bit better at the expense of a bit of life. They are cheap enough to try and if not sell on.
