I have also ridden both. Like pretty much everyone else here said, it’s a matter of personal preference. I had a lot of problems with the 120 TPI Maxxis XC tires where I live because we have a lot of sharp rocks. I have been using the 60 TPI rekon race tires for the last couple of months and they have been great.
I ride a Maxxis Aspen up front and a Specialized Renegade in the back. Both are very fast rolling and I like the Aspen better than the Specialized Fast Track up front.
In my experience I have had way less flat tires switching from specialized to maxxis tires. Fast trak and ground controls were super unreliable for me. I’ve used maxxis rekon, ardent, ikon, and aspens. Will never go back to spec tires.
My Wrangler came with Destination M/Ts. They are awesome tires. I have 3 new ones sitting in my garage because I could not get the size I wanted when I lifted the Jeep. Went with Toyos. The Destinations are on my off-road trailer too and nothing wrong with them.
I liked them a lot. Got about 800 km on them. Very very quite for a hybrid mt/at. Good in rain and light mud on work construction site. Didn't need 4x4 on site like I usually do. Pm for more info I stand by these tires great first impression
Cross climate 2's are one of the only winter rated all seasons. I know a bunch of people that like them.
I've had mine for about 50k miles. Still at about 1/4 tread. I run them in a 4runner. Wet traction (comparing thesebto Wildpeaks) isn't the best but they do great off-road. Gas mileage hasn't been affected either due to how light they are. Overall, I've been happy with them.
For the gti the firestone Indy firehawk 500’s are great tire for not super expensive. Just as good as my continental
I ride Ardents for XC and some light trail riding. They're good tires until you hit mud and wet rocks. I recently tried a faster rolling tire but felt I went slower because the grip was drastically reduced. I think they're a good all around tire but they don't excel at any one thing.
Hated these Firestone’s on my e30. Got very noisy when older, grip was inferior to a even a 10mm smaller width fallen rt615.
