vs
Tires Maxxis or Hifly
Maxxis creepy crawler in 20x2.00 it has a low ass pressure ceilin but it has grip for days
Pros: grip for days
Cons: low pressure ceiling
Maxxis Grifters. I’m 18 months in on them as a 1-2 time a week rider. No visible wear or pinch flats despite running low psi. They last forever and are grippy af.
Pros: grippy, long lasting
Cons: no cons
I ran a maxxcross on both front and rear - rear first, before I upgraded to a 16" + shinko 525. Its not a bad tire at all, and if you're looking to keep the weight down on the stock rim then I say its a good choice.
Pros: good choice, keeps weight down
Cons: not a bad tire
I run a Maxxis Aggressor on the back of my bike and I love it. A DHF up front has loads of grip but the Aggressor has similar side lugs (a little smaller but not much) so the vine still turns well. At the same time, it has smaller center lugs and having swapped a DHR for it, I can certainly tell it rolls better.
Pros: rolls better
My 2.3s were 55mm on some wide 1980s rims. I'll remount them on different rims soon and can measure then
Pros: 55mm on wide rims
My DTH 2.15 looks like about 2" exactly
Pros: looks about 2"
I ride on a DHR2 rear in DD casing and MaxxTerra compound, and an Assegai front in EXO+ MaxxGrip. Really good combo for the descents but a little bit slow on the climbs.
Pros: good for descents
Cons: slow on climbs
The Maxxis Ikon in dual compound would be a good choice. It won't have great grip on wet roots or rocks, but sounds like that's not a concern.
Pros: good choice
Cons: not great wet grip
I've been riding my **Maxxis Rekon 2.4" 3C EXO** for about **700km / 435mi** now and even though I was not over the top impressed, the mix between low rolling resistance and decent grip in dry conditions was satisfying and totally met my demands - even on some rough, deep red (S2-S3) trails.
**On my last ride**, my impressions changed dramatically. The ground conditions might have been slightly looser than most of my rides but certainly nothing I havent already seen before or ridden on over the last couple of months.
After only a few kilometers, I felt **zero confidence in the tires to grip, they dealt scarily bad with loose (dry) trails** and I even crashed once
Pros: low rolling resistance, decent grip
Cons: zero confidence in grip
Mileage: 700 km
Got a bump on the sidewall of my right tyre after couple days and I haven't drove the car. After 2 days the right front started getting the same bumb on the sidewall of my tyre.
Cons: bump on sidewall
