Tires Hankook or Maxxis
I use 165/80 r15 hankook summer tires and they are excellent, both wet and dry grip.
I run Maxxis Razr AT’s. Highly recommend. Live in Washington so I get all kinds of weather. They’re killer in snow and rain. Smooth ride and look great
Back to the actual tires, so far my completely subjective take is that they are indeed quieter and smoother than the factory Bridgestone Alenzas.
I’m in Maine and my studded Hanook snow tires make my hybrid unstoppable.
Best all-round trail / enduro tires imho: Maxxis Minion DHF (front) and Minion DHR II (rear). I run 2.5 and 2.4, respectively. Get the WT (wide trail) variant if your rim inner width is 20+mm. Dual compound good for durability. The DHF has great breaking and turning control and last me 100+ hrs. The rear is great for techie climbs.
I've ran a lot of tire brands and always have the best performance from Maxxis.
Once I got some Maxxis suited to my riding style/terrain it felt like a whole new bike!
Yo uso hankook, tengo un año y medio con ellas y estan a 3/4 de vida, ademas de que tienen buen agarre en curvas y lluvia, y no son tan caras como continental, estas también salen muy buenas, pero el precio es más elevado.
Ran them on my S60 back in the day, pretty much exactly what I expected for the price. Only complaint was tread wear, but for a commuting daily they will give you plenty of life.
I purchased a new MTB with the Minion setup, and figured that since they’re so well renowned, I might as well give them a chance. After 250 miles, I’ve decided that I despise these tires more than anything else I’ve ever ridden. The DHF has NO CORNERING GRIP. I have washed out more times on this tire than I have in what feels like my entire riding career prior to using the DHF. I’ve pinch flatted two DHRs. One sidewall snake bite, one puncture straight through the middle of the tread. Lastly, they have god-awful climbing grip.
