Tires Goodyear or Maxxis
I've had good luck with the Maxxis tires, I've had them on all three of our trailers without a failure.
I ride mixed terrain and a good all year tyre for me is the Assegai. With that said, I had DHF front and rear on my old bike and it was stuck to the ground like glue.
Very dusty here, prefer DHF over Assegai. Also prefer Dissector on rear, I find that combo rolls well and has heaps of traction in the dry.
Assegai is very good but be aware it can be very cloggy with mud and needs speed to clear. From what you say of your riding it might not be a problem for you but wet clay especially on slower tech trails can pretty much just turn them into a slick.
I've ran the DHF for years and currently run it, but I've ridden a few bikes with the Assegai and I think it is in every way a better, more predictable tyre than a DHF.
I run a DHR II and an Assegai for downhill. I love the hookup of the Assegai for varied conditions. The DHF and Assegai are both great tires but I find the Assegai more aggressive with better traction overall.
I’ve ridden both for many years. The DHF was designed and made when tires were 2.3 wide. As the front tire has generally moved to a 2.5 width the space between the centre and side knobs opened up quite a bit and there is now a vague area of less traction at certain lean angles before you get onto the side knobs.
Put 265/40R-20 Goodyear Eagle Sport on my 2021 MYLR and handling seems the same. As a by product I get no more curb rash.
I have a 2015 Dodge Dart and got goodyear reliance tires put on June of 2023 and the center front tires are wearing like crazy. The low end PSI recommendation on the car is 34, and the PSI remains between 28 and 34 consistently. Tires are at the point of almost not passing inspection only in the center front (FWD car) after only 8,000 miles.
I just had an experience with new Douglas (Good Year made) tires from Walmart. 744 miles later I ran over something in the road that sliced my tire. I took it back to WM and they basically laughed at me because I did not buy their road hazard insurance.
