Tires Maxxis or IRONMAN
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.
Pros: good grip, hard/fast riding
Cons: rim denting
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.
Pros: light, great tire tread
Cons: sidewall protection
Ironman is a great budget tire
Pros: great budget tire
While you’re learning get Ironmans lol it’s like $70-80 per tire brand new and will hold up way longer than $30-40 used tires
Pros: hold up way longer
Ironman all country M/T are actually really solid!
Pros: really solid
Ironman have been good on my inlaws buick enclave. Travels a fair amount between houstin and west texas...they've had em for about 5 yrs or so.
Pros: have been good
Went from dhf/dhr II combo to kryptotal enduro soft fr/re and never coming back to maxxis
Pros: never coming back
I am not a fan of ardents. They roll fast but have a habit of loosing grip when you least expect it and suck at regaining grip once they start to slide. I'm running Recons front and back and really like the set up. They roll pretty fast and are usually very predictable.
Pros: roll pretty fast, predictable
Cons: loosing grip unexpectedly, suck at regaining grip
I've had a good string of flats on my DTHs, but they're such a great tyre otherwise that I could never be mad at them. They're also so big and floppy they're a breeze to remove, unlike most "puncture resistant" tyres.
Pros: great tyre, easy remove
Cons: good string of flats
My maxxis tires usually last max 350miles in rear. My last dissector neede to be ditched after ~150-200 miles since knobs ripped apart.
Cons: knobs ripped apart
Mileage: 350 km
