Tires Cooper or Maxxis
Cooper discoverer st max, I drive lots of gravel roads and get lots of mileage out of them, I like bfg at’s but the gravel chews them up
Depends on which brand you're interested in. In the past I've bought BFGs and Ingold's in Durham was my jam, but this time I'm going with Coopers and Discount Tire seems to have the best price.
I also have a minion DHF for downhill and "rowdy" trail or wet/sandy conditions. It rolls a lot better than I expected for such tall knobs
just mounted a few pairs of maxxis tires, dhf, hr2, a dhr, and an ardent exo casings, all done by hand, found them quite easy to mount beads poped right on.
Me and my girlfriend have both been running tubeless Maxxis folder tires on Easton Rims for five seasons and I never had any problems mounting them.
I've mounted and remounted a handful of EXO casing maxxis tires recently with almost no effort at all. Typically I don't even use a lever to mount them, only remove. They all seated on the first try with a hand pump too.
I've had to mount two different DHFs in the past couple of weeks and both times struggled to even get the tire onto the rim. Super tight to lever over the edge and had to be meticulously centered as low as possible on the opposite side just to have a chance. It seemed to take a lot more pressure than usual to get the bead to seat. I like the performance so far, and it is a go-to tire around here
I just replaced my worn out Michelin's with a brand new set of Cooper RS3-G1 tires (235-45-17) and the traction from a standing start is impressive.
I run 2.35s and it certainly doesn't fit super well, however it's not that big of a deal. but if i'm going to have it on the rack for a longer drive I just air down the tire. i run the nevegal dh tire or the maxxis holy roller so the sidewall knobs interfere, I just crank down the straps.
I was always a Michelin fan until I started dealing with Cooper/Mastercraft tires in 2010 or so. Haven't put anything else on a car. I'm not pleased by the Cooper CTS I put on my moms car but those will be warrantied no problem.
