Tires Goodyear or Maxxis
Passat Alltrack 2021, Goodyear Ultragrip Ice 2. Sweden
I've never regretted buying the best tires I can afford. Often Michelin and Goodyear, but sometimes others too.
Michelin X-Ice if you can afford them, otherwise I swear by the Goodyear Nordics as the best affordable option and even what I prefer myself over the X-Ice.
My bike came with 27.5 **Ardent Race** tires and they are super fast and plenty grippy for most days. The side lugs grab corners really nicely. I have some 60tpi Ardents around and they are heavier and slower feeling.
ive been running the MT-772's for about 5k miles now and they are quite impressive. I have had BFG's and Nitto Grapplers in the past and these are just as good, possibly better (and cheaper). Quite impressive on the rocks and in the mountains as they air down quite nicely and super grippy. Throw in the fact that they're not really loud on the freeway and you pretty much have all you can ask for in a mud-terrain.
I rock the maxis ardent race on my rear wheel of my 29er. Great combo but Ive been ripping the hardtail on techical single track so maybe not the best for your application.
I had Duratracs on my Tacomas when I lived in the Denver area. They were reliable on and off road and handled well in all conditions. They were a little noisy when they wore down, but what 33's arent'?
Had wranglers on my liberty, as well as my ram 1500
They were fine tires in all conditions. We have 6 months of winter here, and they were just fine in snow and ice.
They weren't particularly awesome in mud, but not awful
I have seen Goodyear tires (that have not been ran flat) that are just completely destroyed. The rubber compound and the foundation of the tire is just complete garbage. Most Goodyear tires that fail are only a few years old, and should have many miles left in them. The pre-mature cracking, and ply separation in these tires is extreme!
Goodyear.
