Tires KENDA or Maxxis
Personally, I will never not recommend Maxxis Re-Fuse. Crappy city streets strewn with broken everything, one puncture in a dozen years. I’m on my third pair only because treads wear out. Not the greatest rolling resistance, apparently, but not really a concern for me
Kenda Klever A/T2 KR628. I've had them on my R50 for the past year. About 10K miles so far. Solid overall and reasonably priced.
A Maxxis Shorty in DD casing and Max-Grip compound is about as slow a tyre as you can get - a Maxxis Rekon Race in Exo casing and Max-Speed compound is about the fastest thing you can put on your rims.
The kenda klever a are good tires. I’ve got them on my 4 door jeep. Ride nice. Handle everything out and about I get into
Currently running Kenda Klevar RTs and I think they are my favorite to date, super quiet on road, just did elko to Austin via the BDR, no issues in mud, they were so comfortable on the trail today that I never stopped to air down, great in the rain, got mixed up in the crazy rain in Utah Sunday and no issues. I’m also partial to the kendas because they offer 35x10.5s
I'm currently running Maxxis Razr AT811 tyres. They are pretty quiet and handle great on road, and are definitely capable offroad too.
I run my Klever RT closer to 35psi. Haven't had any issues, even with a jacked up alignment.
I only did a couple miles since adding them, but the difference is insane. Rolls like a road bike, but with WAY more confidence to go over anything. I can send it into a 90 degree road turn at full speed and it's not even pushing it. They're fast.
I LOVE the aggressor but I agree that punchy technical climbs are its weak point and will often spin out.
I rode a set of these from California to Panama. Would not recommend. The ride quality is decent but these things will find every fucking shard of wire scraps along the road. I got 3x as many flats as any of the folks I rode with.
