I've settled on 19 psi in the tomahawk out back and 17 psi in the hr2 out front, feels good and can handle some rough single track.
Impressed with the tomahawk as a rear tyre.
Good grip and lots of traction climbing tricky loose pinches.
Is it better than the new ardent I just bought, not sure although it feels damn good. I think I'll leave it on.

Post ride pics?
I've gotta say the WTB Wolverine has been disappointing (Vigilante is great).
Thing slips and slides all over the place doesn't hook up on rocks. Kicks out underneath me when I stomp the pedals and has started to pit and breakdown after about a week or two's riding.
Need new rubber for the 29er again, but new wheels for it first.

Yes DHF 2.5 in exo single ply, and DHR2 in 2.4 single ply around 800-850g.
Available in Aus by late Oct.

WOAH so the fairy tales are becoming reality?
Little skeptical of these weights given my 26" 2.5 DHF ST EXO is 900g+

Maybe you're right and my memory is incorrect; I read it somewhere.
The other info is direct from Maxxis though.

There are photos from Eurobike. They couldn't arrive soon enough I need new tyres NOW!
Still the best tyres going round though! Grip 99% as well as Magic Marys without falling apart after 2 rides....

Marys on front and nobs are shredded to hell. DHR2 on rear are wearing smoothy and evenly but tyre still in one piece.
I know what I'm buying next!

27x2.3 EXO TR 3C is 870g, 2.5 will be low 900's and worth every single gram.
i want a 26x2.5 EXO TR 3C as well. 2.3 is sweet, but i did like the extra width my Hans Dampf had (it's only redeeming feature)
2.5 EXO DHF STs mount up perfectly and hold up well up front!

from what i've read there is a bee's doodle difference between the new 2.3 and the current 2.5? i'm hoping when they make the TR casing that it's a proper 2.5!
My 2.5 DHF EXO is a lot bigger than my 2.3 DHR II TR

Damn. I Just bought a 2.4 Shorty instead as I wanted something fat, and everything I read said the 2.5 DHF wasn't.
Any chance you can grab a width for both your tyres? No rush.

Lemme know how you go with the Shorty I might get one of those if the 2.5 DHF doesn't arrive in time.

Will do. Have a 2.3 Tomahawk and 2.4 Shorty on their way, hoping for a ripper combo.
