Tires BFGoodrich or Maxxis
I bought BFG KO2's about a year ago and they had white letters on one side, black on the other. FYI, if you get snow, the KO2's are awesome in it.
Fantastic all-terrain tire with great tread life, great wet performance and the ability to offroad as well
On my XC hardtail I have a Maxxis 2.4 Ardent on the front, and a Maxxis 2.2 Ikon on the rear. It is a great combo so far.
I just put some 2.25" Maxxis Ardent TR EXOs on my Trek 29er and they have been awesome so far. Tons of grip compared to the bontragers I had (cheaper ones that came with my bike).
Maxxis all the way. Seem to be the best combo of grip, price, durability, and weight.
Your trails sound pretty similar to what I ride. I have a set of Ardent 2.25s that I really like.
I love my aggressor on the rear, rolls and grips well.
I used to run Nitto NT01s all around my car. Now I run Toyo R888r in the from and BF-Goodrich G-force sport comp 2 in the rear (amazing tire).
The summer comp 2 has been really good in the dry and excellent in the wet in terms of grip and ride, but they fall way short of the Conti DW and the even better Mich PSS in noise. These things sound like altimax winter tires.
I purchased a new MTB with the Minion setup, and figured that since they’re so well renowned, I might as well give them a chance. After 250 miles, I’ve decided that I despise these tires more than anything else I’ve ever ridden. The DHF has NO CORNERING GRIP. I have washed out more times on this tire than I have in what feels like my entire riding career prior to using the DHF. I’ve pinch flatted two DHRs. One sidewall snake bite, one puncture straight through the middle of the tread. Lastly, they have god-awful climbing grip.
