Don’t know of any 2.7’s, but I am running the Duro Razorback 26 x 2.6 Wire Bead on my newly acquired KH Muni. It has the same tread pattern as the Duro Leopard, but the tire isn’t as heavy. I’ve only had it for 2 rides so far, but it seems good so far.

A whole thread dedicated to your question:

The "official" Muni Tyre Review Page

I don’t know that I can be as exhaustive as Sponge was on the trials tyres, but I do think we need more reviews on tyres for muni, so here’s my contribution: Twenty-Four Inch Tyres: 24" Duro Wildlife 3" Soft rubber, sticky, wears quickly, softer sidewalls, poor mud traction, fairly durable. Good for lighter riders who want a soft rebound. 24" Intense DH 3" Firm rubber, sticky, stiff sidewalls, long lasting, good mud traction, durable, heavy Good for heavier riders, thopse who want more ed…

thanks

thanks guys, I ended up finding a high roller and a minion at a 2.5 for around 45 bucks at my LBS,I just have to decide which one I want.

High Roller is probably better, this is what comes on the KH 26.

The Minion is heavier and isn’t the best pattern for a uni; I have tried Front and Rear styles.

+1 using version (they have a HighRoller II now) on my 26" Oracle. I like it a lot but I might switch back to the 26x3 Duro now that I’ve got a 29er with a 2.4 Maxxis Ardent for XC.

The Maxxis Ardent 2.6 seems a popular choice. You’ll need a smaller tube than what’s in your Duro though - but I guess that’s true whichever tire you get.
