I'm also currently running a MAXXIS Desert IT front tire on my KTM 1090 tubeless wheel without issue. Its a hard compound tire that is designed for the tough stuff, and I also recommend it.
Pros: designed for tough stuff

The best blend of traction and longevity I've ridden so far is Maxxis Minions in the 60 compound. They held up to multiple days in Whistler Bike Park and were still in fine shape.
Pros: traction and longevity
I just put on my 285 75 16 maxxis at811s a few days ago. Road noise is almost none, you would have to turn the speakers off and listen for it. Load rating E so stiffness is definitely a given. Braking is definitely harder because of the weight.
Pros: road noise almost none
Cons: braking is harder
Gotta say, I've been a big fan of my maxxis tires. Super solid tire for a brand that isn't exactly a household name (I wouldn't call them offbrand, just not a big name).
Pros: super solid tire
So, over 500 miles on these tires. Dirt roads, a little bit of real off-road, freeway, grooved freeway, some rain (no snow). Here are my thoughts.
So far, because these are so light, I can discern virtually no difference in handling from the cheese-ball OEM tires. Mileage may have taken a slight dip based on the computer, probably due to the more aggressive tread pattern, but I'm still consistently getting over 20mpgs.
These things are really quiet. On grooved highways, really stable. Rain. It wasn't a toad-floater, but no hydroplaning, very stable and confidence inspiring. Braking, Excellent, better than the BFG/Wildpeaks, probably due to lower weight. Acceleration, Really really good. Again, because of the low weight, they come up to speed nicely. Dirt Roads. A really fun tire. Plenty of grip, easy to feel when they are starting to slide. And they slide very predictably. Real Off Road. Very compliant. Highway compliance. A very nice, comfortable tire. Cornering. The carcass is slightly stiffer than OEM, so they feel more planted in the twisty bits. Look. This is subjective, but I think these are the best looking tire's I've ever had.
Pros: really quiet, stable, excellent braking
Cons: slight dip in mileage
Mileage: 805 km
It'll be fine. I have Rekon 2.4 WT on 28mm internal width rims and they feel great.
Pros: feel great
I just put minions DHR WT and DHF WT on my line elite 30s on my Slash and size wise they fit great and are awesome to ride.
Pros: fit great, awesome ride
I run 2.5 assguy and 2.4 dhr2 on 30mm rims, completely fine.
Pros: completely fine
Aggressor has all the traction of a Dhr while rolling a touch faster. It's pretty shit in the wet though.
Pros: good traction, faster rolling
Cons: shit in the wet
If you've got the OE supplied tires on ANY trailer, I'd make a VERY strong recommendation to swap them out for a reputable brand as soon as possible.
Pros: reputable brand
Cons: cheap junk tire
Mileage: 5000 km
