Tires Maxxis or PHANTOM
If you want something that’ll stretch closer to 15 to 20k km, the Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 has held up way better for me as my last set went just under 17k km before chunking.
Pros: held up way better
Cons: before chunking
Mileage: 17000 km
Since switching to Maxxis DoubleDown, I've had no problems at all.
Pros: no problems at all
If you want as much choice of casing and compound as possible go Maxxis - DHRII or Dissector. Dissector is faster rolling and perfect for dry loose rocky.
Pros: faster rolling, perfect
Cons: hard to get
For proper DH right now the most loved combo is Maxxis Assegai front / Minion DHR II rear, both in DH casing + MaxxGrip.
Pros: most loved combo
DHR II in the back, Assegai in the front is pretty good.
Pros: pretty good
I used to buy CEAT, MRF and APOLLO before. For my Himalayan Apollo was the worst in terms of wet grip. Am trying Maxxiss RN and it's the best in Budget
Pros: best in Budget
Cons: Apollo worst wet grip
Can be quality of tyre as well also your driving style. If tyre have soft compound it will go down quicker. I went trough set in 6 months. Maxxis premitra 5. Good grip but my god, they disappeared day by day.
Pros: Good grip
Cons: disappeared day by day
Sure, for about 12k miles.
Pros: last 12k miles
Mileage: 19312 km
I had these exact tires on an Acura TL. I wouldn't recommend them, they were not great in the winter. They were also really loud on the highway and they wore really quick.
Cons: loud, wore quick
Vehicle:
Acura TL
They're Chinese junk. They sorta work, but have 20% less traction and 50% less lifetime.
Pros: sorta work
Cons: less traction, less lifetime
