Maxxis on a dually rim

[journeyman]

Current set up of 2.4 continentals driving me mad loosing air and with leaky sidewalls so I'm thinking of putting maxxi tyres on. I assume 2.4 ardents will fit fine but has anyone put 2.35 ikons on a rim of this width? (Id like to build some new wheels with Ikons on blunt ss rims - but until I sell my Long Haul Trucker Im told by the current I m on a strict budget... )

I'm not sure how wide those rims are but I've ridden 000's of km with ikon 2.35s on 35 and 38mm rims.

I'd be fairly sure they would take a wide rim too. They are noticeable bigger than a 2.4 xking

Put on and pump up while in a small enclosed area. Let us know how you get on.



Maaop ... maaop.

I'm sure it'll be fine. Probably.

I have some permanent hearing loss due to exactly this.

Tyres are loud!

I've put 2.3's on a dually before. Can't remember what they were but the profile ended up very flat , it wasn't nice. However, if as Ian says, the 2.35" Ikon is bigger than a 2.4" X-King (which is a very big tyre), then they should be okay and it could prove worthwhile ... but if it's any smaller, I wouldn't bother.

I run 2.4 Ardents and 2.35 Nobby Nics on Duallys. Both great imo. Shouldn't be any problems with the Ikon.
