Ridden both for XC racing and I have come to prefer the specialized tires over maxxis. I personally like to run ground control T5 upfront with fast track t5 in the rear as my base for my local trails and most race courses ( mid Atlantic area US) . If the course is hard pack and not super technical I’ll run fast track upfront with fast track or renegade in the rear. My I also found to get I got pinch flats more often on maxxis or side wall cuts through rock gardens. This is completely a personal preference but I’ve also felt more in control of the bike with specialized tires I mentioned
Pros: more in control
Cons: pinch flats more often
Something XC like Maxxis ardent race or rekon race
Pros: null
Cons: null
I LOVE the aggressor but I agree that punchy technical climbs are its weak point and will often spin out.
Pros: rolls fast
Cons: weak on technical climbs
I ran Achilles tires on my old VW and so did my buddy, this was 10ish years ago but they were terrible back then.
Cons: terrible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
