Tires Continental or PHANTOM
I run Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires. 50k tire. No complaints.
I did have Continental ExtremeContact DSW06's on my ST and they were really good.
They felt so sketchy I went out and dropped 800 on continentals and I can barely make them break traction and can corner way harder. Feel more planted and safe.
My wife purchased a used Acura Integra. When I drove it just didn't handle as precise as I expected. We replaced them with.... Continental. All of a sudden the handling was much better and safer.
You could save some money and have better handling by choosing something that's not run flat. I use Continental Extreme Contact tires (\~$947 installed with no alignment at Les Schwab, and yes I could have gotten them cheaper elsewhere but LS gives out credit like it's free candy) and I love them so far...
Conti's DH tires are just the best. Its almost concerning how much grip I have compared to similar maxxis tires.
The current DH Conti line is the best tire out there right now. But holy crap, is it hard to get on rims.
As a Maxxis rider who hasn't tried Michy but has tried Conti... Conti are the best tires I've ever run so far. And I liked the Maxxis overall. It's hard to imagine a tire better than these Contis.
I found a wood screw neatly inserted into the sidewall so it couldn't be patched. $400 for a new Continental.
They are awful in snow. So I only run them for 6 months, and Continental Viking Contact 7 winter tires for the other 6 months. 8000 miles on each and only a little wear.
