Tires Firestone or Maxxis
If you know how to handle your bike the rekon race is fine up front. I raced that with an aspen out back at the 50 mile xc race up in Bend where it was dusty all day. I was also passing many people on the downhills.
I ride with 2.35" tires front and rear on my Ripmo, one that's a little beefier up front (Schwalbe Nobby Nic) and something that rolls better in the rear (Schwalbe Racing Ralph).
The bike came with Maxxis Assegai front and rear and for the first few rides I regretted getting the bike because it felt like such a pig. The lighter tires make pedaling on flat sections and climbs *so much* more enjoyable, and I can still push it on the descents.
I had a 1999 Explorer and had it at the dealer for an oil change. While it was there word came down from Ford: if it\u2019s an Explorer with Firestone tires, switch to Goodyear! So, for about $40 I got an oil change and 5 new tires (including the spare). Best deal I ever got on a car!
Maxxis Victra kuys if palit. Makapit sa basa at tuyo wag ka lang mag kakamali dumaan sa paint.
I also run 60 on the pump track. I notice the sidewall rolling over and you can hear it scrubbing when down at the pressure I dirt jump with (35). You'll have a more confident experience with the higher pressure forsure.
Ran maxxis holly rollers for years, and recently got a set of billy bonkers and I've been very happy with them.
I have the Firestone XTs on my 3rd gen Tundra, with about 16k miles on them. Good traction all around, and have worn well so far. I like the look of them as well. Only nitpick is they can vibrate a bit under braking at slower speeds.
255 35 20 for Indy 500 also works, I’m using in 21m3p. Range takes a 5% hit.
Put these on my Tundra recently. Tire looks great but def a bit noisier than the Firestones.
1990s Ford Explorer were pretty solid except for the pesky factory installed Firestone tires that would blow out at speed.
Personally I stay away from the Firestone stuff. Hard compounds that aquaplane easily and still have worse rolling resistance than the premium tyres.
