Tires Maxxis or Hifly
Personally, I will never not recommend Maxxis Re-Fuse. Crappy city streets strewn with broken everything, one puncture in a dozen years. I’m on my third pair only because treads wear out. Not the greatest rolling resistance, apparently, but not really a concern for me
Pros: one puncture in years
Cons: not greatest rolling resistance
A Maxxis Shorty in DD casing and Max-Grip compound is about as slow a tyre as you can get - a Maxxis Rekon Race in Exo casing and Max-Speed compound is about the fastest thing you can put on your rims.
Pros: fastest thing
Cons: slow a tyre
I'm currently running Maxxis Razr AT811 tyres. They are pretty quiet and handle great on road, and are definitely capable offroad too.
Pros: pretty quiet, great on road, capable offroad
I only did a couple miles since adding them, but the difference is insane. Rolls like a road bike, but with WAY more confidence to go over anything. I can send it into a 90 degree road turn at full speed and it's not even pushing it. They're fast.
Pros: rolls like road bike, more confidence
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
Pros: killer in snow, rain
Best all-round trail / enduro tires imho: Maxxis Minion DHF (front) and Minion DHR II (rear). I run 2.5 and 2.4, respectively. Get the WT (wide trail) variant if your rim inner width is 20+mm. Dual compound good for durability. The DHF has great breaking and turning control and last me 100+ hrs. The rear is great for techie climbs.
Pros: great breaking, turning control
Cons: Not super smooth for XC
I've ran a lot of tire brands and always have the best performance from Maxxis.
Pros: best performance
Once I got some Maxxis suited to my riding style/terrain it felt like a whole new bike!
Pros: felt like new bike
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.
Pros: loved the speed
Cons: hated the grip
I've tried the Ardent in a 2.3 width as a rear tire, and wasn't a fan. It was prone to breaking loose easily in corners with little warning.
Pros: fast tire
Cons: prone to breaking loose
