I ride mixed terrain and a good all year tyre for me is the Assegai. With that said, I had DHF front and rear on my old bike and it was stuck to the ground like glue.
Pros: stuck to the ground

I run Dunlop American Elites. Mind you, I do so because it’s a good tire - not so much a ‘Made in America’ reason, albeit a plus.
Pros: good tire
Very dusty here, prefer DHF over Assegai. Also prefer Dissector on rear, I find that combo rolls well and has heaps of traction in the dry.
Pros: heaps of traction
Cons: more rolling resistance
Assegai is very good but be aware it can be very cloggy with mud and needs speed to clear. From what you say of your riding it might not be a problem for you but wet clay especially on slower tech trails can pretty much just turn them into a slick.
Pros: pays back with grip
Cons: can be very cloggy
I've ran the DHF for years and currently run it, but I've ridden a few bikes with the Assegai and I think it is in every way a better, more predictable tyre than a DHF.
Pros: better, more predictable tyre
I run a DHR II and an Assegai for downhill. I love the hookup of the Assegai for varied conditions. The DHF and Assegai are both great tires but I find the Assegai more aggressive with better traction overall.
Pros: better traction overall
I’ve ridden both for many years. The DHF was designed and made when tires were 2.3 wide. As the front tire has generally moved to a 2.5 width the space between the centre and side knobs opened up quite a bit and there is now a vague area of less traction at certain lean angles before you get onto the side knobs.
Pros: traction at all angles
Cons: DHF is lighter
Firestone destination le3 is decent and cheap tire there, a lot of sizes. Is the tire amazing? Fuck no, but has great wet traction, low rolling resistance, and through the roof treadwear.
Pros: great wet traction, treadwear
Cons: not amazing
They are great when they are new but as you put miles on them and the tread wears I thought they sucked. I replaced my generals with about half tread life because in the rain they liked to hydroplan.
Pros: great when new
Cons: hydroplaned in rain
The 18 inch wheels with low profile tires are rough, loud, and I've had 2 flats. The stock dunlop tires suck.
Cons: rough, loud, prone to flats
