Tires Maxxis or OEM Honda
Maxxis are expensive but consistently pretty good. You’ll get the odd tire with a warped casing. But overall pretty much anything they make is solid.
Pros: consistently pretty good
Cons: odd warped casing
Good rubber. The quality and duro of the rubber and the casing is 90% of what makes a tire good. Good round tires that mount easily. Especially tubeless.
Pros: good rubber, mounts easily
After using inferior tires for years, the maxxis high roller 2 tires specd on my bike made me realize that tire choice is the greatest factor impacting cornering confidence, hands down. Once you actually feel the difference between a regular tire and a great tire it becomes a priority in your gear choices. I’ve never tried a maxxis tire that wasn’t great at whatever its intended use case is for. Maxxis makes a tire for every kind of riding style you’re trying to achieve, and each style works as intended. It’s hard for me to move away from maxxis when I know I’m getting exactly what I expect from their product.
Pros: great cornering confidence
I have tried many tires. I ride desert southwest US, just about every trail is rocky, angular, chunky, loose stuff that can shred a tire. When it comes down to it- the maxxis tires hold traction longer than anything, and they last longer than anything else.
Pros: traction, long lasting
Another dhr could work. They roll super fast for their chunk.
Pros: roll super fast
I've had good luck with the Maxxis tires, I've had them on all three of our trailers without a failure.
Pros: no failures
I ride mixed terrain and a good all year tyre for me is the Assegai. With that said, I had DHF front and rear on my old bike and it was stuck to the ground like glue.
Pros: stuck to the ground
Those stock tires will give you grief, they give your steering a little annoying dance the closer you hit 170kmph/100mph. Work through those tires. Swapping to something else will almost completely get rid of the wobble.
Cons: steering annoying dance, wobble
Vehicle:
Honda
Maxxis tires give 40% on a $120 MSRP - so $48. Seems like a good gig for the retailer. However...Maxxis is the worst line to carry.
Pros: good margin for retailer
Cons: worst line to carry
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
