Tires Hankook or Continental
The current DH Conti line is the best tire out there right now. But holy crap, is it hard to get on rims.
As a Maxxis rider who hasn't tried Michy but has tried Conti... Conti are the best tires I've ever run so far. And I liked the Maxxis overall. It's hard to imagine a tire better than these Contis.
My car had tires from 2015, so I swapped all the tires for a set of new Conti ECS. 02s which has been great.
You will gain a few percent and the handling is similar or perhaps slightly better.
I have the ProContact RXs on my MS LR. They were excellent in dry, wet and snow . I've read htat they get worse in really cold weather, but they were fine up to around -5-10 degrees celsius and 10-15cm snow atop Donner Pass in Tahoe. Did not need chains.
Efficiency is as good, if not slightly better than the procontacts and much quieter. Not sure about wet traction as it hasn’t rained since I put them on but folks say the rain grip is good, better than the procontacts.
I run the DSW06 Plus year around even on my race car. They're much better than the ProContact but they will not last as long. They also are a bit louder but pretty dang grippy even in severe weather.
I got continetals and they have been great so far.
They are pretty hard tires. Loud, slip in the rain if you give it enough gas, don't feel as solid in a corner. But you'll get better gas mileage on them than a sport tire and they will take much longer to wear out.
The tires are rated at 1 on the tire toughness scale. I forget what it’s called but they are super fragile, garbage tires. They also wear hilariously fast and handle poorly.
