Tires FEDERAL or Maxxis
I have Maxxis Razors Mt on my truck. Great in the snow, mud, and quiet, no drone on the hi-way.
Crossmark grips better than Ikon in wet conditions
I have Federal Himalaya Inverno K1 on my Highlander and they are boss. Never gotten stuck. Never had traction issues and I can go 120 in a blizzard
Assegai MaxxGrip is a lot, but awesome on loose over hard and great on everything else except mud.
Nothing wrong with DHF front and rear, a little faster than DHR II and still plenty of braking grip.
Federal 595's are to my knowledge, the best bang for your buck.
Personally, I will never not recommend Maxxis Re-Fuse. Crappy city streets strewn with broken everything, one puncture in a dozen years. I’m on my third pair only because treads wear out. Not the greatest rolling resistance, apparently, but not really a concern for me
I'm on my second set of maxxis and they're good for intermediate to hard stuff. If it's slippery out and I need to do a steep hill climb using momentum it's almost impossible, but I've never experienced a better softer tire yet so can't compare to anything else.
Federal 595RS-PRO 275 width - Lower grip levels than RE71 or similar, but they wear like rocks. I am on heat cycle 15 and they have no significant wear. Time deltas for me on a short, technical track are ~1.5-2 secs slower than my other tires, however.
I rode a set of these from California to Panama. Would not recommend. The ride quality is decent but these things will find every fucking shard of wire scraps along the road. I got 3x as many flats as any of the folks I rode with.
