Michelin DH Mud

Yes, this tire is purpose-built for saturated, soft, and muddy tracks. While the MAGI-X compound offers excellent grip, the tread pattern is aggressive and will feel sluggish or draggy on hard-packed dirt or dry trails.

The tread blocks are designed with specific markings that allow you to safely trim them with a sharp blade. This lets you customize the tire's performance—for example, trimming blocks can help clear mud more effectively or reduce rolling resistance if the track conditions are slightly less severe.

Yes, the DH Mud is rated for e-bike use. Its reinforced Down Hill Shield casing provides the necessary durability and sidewall support to handle the extra weight and torque of an electric mountain bike.

Yes, the tire is Tubeless Ready. We recommend using it with a tubeless-compatible rim and sealant to take full advantage of the puncture protection and to run lower tire pressures for better traction in wet conditions.

The Down Hill Shield casing is quite robust, which is essential for preventing pinch flats and sidewall tears on aggressive descents. Because of this reinforcement, the tire is heavier and stiffer than a standard trail tire, prioritizing protection and stability over weight savings.
