Tires Maxxis or PHANTOM
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
Very dusty here, prefer DHF over Assegai. Also prefer Dissector on rear, I find that combo rolls well and has heaps of traction in the dry.
Pros: heaps of traction
Cons: more rolling resistance
Assegai is very good but be aware it can be very cloggy with mud and needs speed to clear. From what you say of your riding it might not be a problem for you but wet clay especially on slower tech trails can pretty much just turn them into a slick.
Pros: pays back with grip
Cons: can be very cloggy
I've ran the DHF for years and currently run it, but I've ridden a few bikes with the Assegai and I think it is in every way a better, more predictable tyre than a DHF.
Pros: better, more predictable tyre
I run a DHR II and an Assegai for downhill. I love the hookup of the Assegai for varied conditions. The DHF and Assegai are both great tires but I find the Assegai more aggressive with better traction overall.
Pros: better traction overall
Well, the Rekon races came highly regarded but my second day on one I flatted (rear tire). Maxxis claims it was a pinch flat. OK, maybe but it should have held up.
Pros: highly regarded
Cons: flatted rear tire
The aggressor is faster on hard pack but awful on mud. Dissector makes a better rear tire I think, it’s similar to the dhr but a little faster. Unless they’ve changed the tire, the cornering knobs tend to get shredded quickly.
Pros: faster on hard pack
Cons: awful on mud
I had a sidewall get punctured pretty badly on the EXO casing tires that came with my bike riding in Southern California.
Cons: sidewall get punctured
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
