Tires KENDA or Maxxis
I have kenda K908 on my commuter now. Yes, 26".
The middle part gives good rolling, while sides dig deep enough for light gravel. And wear is very good. Already did like 600km on these without any signs of use.
The KRads are so fucking good. Kinda heavy but they last forever.
Kenda AT2 if you plan to off-road and daily drive, RTs if you are wheeling a lot. Made in Ohio, way cheaper, better performance then Goodyear's.
I just installed a set of Kenda 33x10.5r17's and have been very impressed by them. They were cheap to buy, run quiet on the highway, look good, and most importantly did great in the mud this weekend. 10/10 would buy again...
Been riding the Kenda Small Block 8 without any problems lately, though I don't live in the "glassy" part of Berlin.
I doubt anyone will thumbs up this since they’re cheap tires, but the Kenda Kwik Tendrils I have (26x1.75) I really like for city riding. Folding bead, fairly supple, never had a flat in over 100 city commute miles.
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
Kenda Klever RTs. I've never been so happy with a tire. I also ran Terra Grappler G2s that seemed to do well.
I tried the Rekons. In the EXO casing. Lasted about 2 months before it succumbed to our thorny trails. I loved the speed but hated the grip on our dry loose over hard.
The Ardent sucks by most accounts. Read this article from [NSMB.com](https://nsmb.com/articles/ask-uncle-dave-talking-tires-maxxis/) where the Maxxis rep basically says the only reason Ardent's are even made anymore is because people recognize the name. Rekon 2.4 is my vote (not a particularly wide 2.4, more like a 2.35). Some have mentioned the Ardent Race, but the Rekon has way better cornering traction than an ardent race, and bigger center knobs than an ardent race for braking traction.
