Hi all, a bit late to the B+ party but couldnt resist the deal on wheels at CRC. I fancied a pair of the Spesh butcher 2.8 tyres but the size is sold out. The Slaughter is still in stock but seems to be more associated with the back wheel. Anyone tried it on the front, or have a Butcher 2.8 that they bought and didnt need?

Like all semi-slicks, it doesn’t really do braking. I presume you need 27.5x2.8?

Hi yes looking to go 2.8, didn't realize the slaughter was classed as a semi slick, probably not for me on the rear either!
