I’m 84 kg, use Maxxis tires with an 2.5 Assegai EXO+ tire up front and a 2.4 DHR II DoubleDown casing in the rear. I ride and race reasonably hard/fast. I’m using 22/23, but when I have an EXO+ casing out back I have to up that a couple psi to keep from denting my rim.
The rugged-looking alloy wheels of the prototype, shod in General Grabber A/T Sport tires (275/60R18), sound like a fitting choice for the production model.
I have been using this specific tire below for almost 20 years. Had my 2006 for 11 years and now my 2017. They have great wet road handling. Excellent tread wear. I get about 70K miles a set. Not sure what your price range is but don't skimp on tires, especially on a truck. You want that wet road grip.
Update 6 months later: I haven't gotten a chance to test them in snow despite getting them in January. It was a very mild winter. But I noticed immediately how much better they handled in the rain. Compared to those these made a real difference and I felt safer. I don't notice any more noise with these.
Basically, both are pretty good tires and at an equal price or a little bit more, I'd take the Generals...
Went with the Generals and have been getting anecdotally very good efficiency.
The maxxis dth in the 2.3 has been my absolute favorite commuter tire for a long time. I still can't believe how light they are compared to other tires of this size. Tire tread is great for pavement and hard pack. Even had them out for some serious loaded touring and praised them.
I have these tires on my 01 Tahoe and they are a beast. Love em, especially in the snow in Michigan's upper peninsula. I take care of a camp about a third of a mile in on unpaved road and these things run me in there with snow bumper high like it ain't no thing. Muddy in the spring, same deal. Comfy on pavement, not a bad thing to say about them.
I’ve had the generals on my bmw and they were alright
I bought tires for my model 3. They only lasted me 20K with normal driving. They didn’t handle well in dry condition too. One of the worst tires I bought.
