Tires Maxxis or GISLAVED
I have ridden the DHF exclusively since getting my bike. I fell in love with the grip when cornering, literally feels like the bike is on rails. I have never lost the front tire in any conditions.
Pros: grip when cornering
well, if your in japan my shop just recieved a 24x2.4 dhf. It’s s very high quality tire!
Pros: very high quality
The only thing I’d add is I’d suggest them in Maxxspeed, but they are only available in 2.35. Rode them front/rear last season and they were excellent.
Pros: they were excellent
Cons: only available in 2.35
I've been really impressed recently with the Conti tires (Cross Kings or Race Kings depending on how XC you want to go with it), specifically the ProTection versions with the Black Chili compound. Coming from Maxxis stuff I've been surprised by the amount of grip they have given how fast-rolling they are, at least for my local conditions (New England, so rocks, roots, more roots, a few roots, some roots, roots, rocks, roots, some more roots, a lot of roots, and roots.)
Pros: amount of grip
Cons: hard to find
2.4 Rekon Race Front 2.4 Aspen ST. This is the fastest combo I have ever run. Same type of trails hard pack.
Pros: fastest combo ever
Rekon Race is super fast if it has enough traction for you. If not, Rekon isn't a bad tire to try. Not as fast, but it won't give out when you push it too hard.
Pros: not bad tire
Cons: not as fast
I thought the rekon race front and rear was amazing on hard pack rocky mountain dirt.
Pros: amazing on hard pack
I ride Ardents for XC and some light trail riding. They're good tires until you hit mud and wet rocks. I recently tried a faster rolling tire but felt I went slower because the grip was drastically reduced. I think they're a good all around tire but they don't excel at any one thing.
Pros: good all around tire
Cons: don't excel at anything, bad in mud
Not my favorite tire but rubber and casing make a bigger difference than tread patterns. Especially in the roots and rocks. I'd take a 3c Maxxis anything over a Kenda every time.
Pros: 3c Maxxis better
Cons: Not my favorite tire
Exo and exo+ in my area will reliably puncture right through the top of the tire within three rides or less typically.
Cons: reliably puncture
