Tires Laufenn or Maxxis
I run maxxis ravagers 700x40 they take a beating and actually roll way better than they look like they would.
The 3CT (MaxxTerra?) is a much more suitable rear tyre compound and it's already on the softer side, I can't imagine ever running a Maxxgrip rear tyre outside of pro racing as it's slow rolling and wears out incredibly fast.
Laufenn is a budget brand of Hankook, a reputable tire manufacturer headquartered in South Korea. These are the tires I recently ordered for my Model Y. They're black, round, and also have a treadwear rating of 500.
I just bought these for my Model Y, partly because they were priced at $108/each. I think it's an outstanding deal. I'll happily run my Laufenns.
Neighbor has Laufenn X Fit and I have G Fit and we're totally pleased with this Hankook sub brand in middle TN. Really quiet tires as Hankooks tend to be. Mostly excellent reviews on tire rack but a few folks claimed they were horrific in wet. So I went out on soaked roads and a parking lot and tested them and it took really heroic maneuvers that I never do to get as much as a chirp.
The Laufenn S Fit tires are an absolute steal at $108 each. Laufenn is the budget line made by Hankook, a South Korean tire company. These particular tires are manufactured in Indonesia. I bought them with confidence. I expect to get at least as much out of our new Laufenns.
They are both average cheap chinese tires. The performance is ok for the price
I have Laufenn (came with car). Ok tyre but uniroyal is much better.
My experience with minions as a casual rider in the DFL class of my local DH races is that they leak sealant out the sidewalls, don't have a good transition when leaned over, and tend to roll off the rim.
I have them on my sti. Theyre good on concrete and okay in rain. However absolutely trash on snow/ice. No grip around corners resulting in sliding not to mention having to be gentle and brake early.
