Tires Maxxis or RIKEN
I hate to throw another tire in there but I urge you to check out Maxxis Razr AT811s. I put them on my 22 Tundra a little less Than 3 years ago and I have not been disappointed. They're 50,000 Mi Tire and they are wearing great so far. I'm at 25,000 miles and they're not even half worn so I guarantee I will be going over 50 on them. They're pretty good and wet conditions and they three Peak Mountain snowflake rated and I can confirm that they are amazing in the snow. They are more budget friendly tire but I can attest to their quality. They do make a little noise going down the highway, but nothing too terrible. Go ahead. Check them out.
Pros: amazing in the snow
Cons: little noise
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
Mileage: 40233 km
Maxxis Maxxlite 29x2.0
Good tire if you have a lot of paved transitions between gravel sections. 375 grams per tire.
Pros: good tire
It seems like every time I go riding it rains here in Sweden, so its pretty unavoidable! I just wear a rain jacket and decent pants for all of my riding and fear most every root or bare rock encounter (which is constant on MTB trails).
Cons: fear every root encounter
In my experience the best bang for your buck summer tire is the Riken Raptor. They're about $100 a pop and have great dry grip. Downside is that they're not amazing in very wet conditions.
Pros: great dry grip
Cons: not amazing in wet
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Yung maxxis pinalit ko sa stock dunlop ng fazzio ko mas makapit pa. Hehe.. naalala ko ilan beses muntik sumemplang sa dunlop pero sa maxxis makapit na makapit.
Pros: mas makapit pa
Riken Raptor ZR A/S RF. These tires were under $400 for a SET (about $86 per tire). 300tw. Aggressive tire pattern. And they are a solid performer for canyon carving. I drove them about 4000 miles over a week this past summer around MATG including some pretty aggressive backroad driving and they held up VERY well. Insanely well given the price.
Pros: solid performer, aggressive pattern
Cons: grip suffers a bit
Mileage: 4000 km
I run 29x2.4 Ikon/Aspen on hardpack and it serves me well. The Aspen at first was more nervous over roots but I think I was running too high a pressure and it’s much better. The Ikon is just my jack of all trades XC tire; not good or bad at anything.
Pros: jack of all trades
Cons: nervous over roots
Im running using Conti Soft Enduro kyrp front and Forekaster out back in EXO+, the Maxxis casing is so soft it feels weird riding up an down but is quick.
Pros: quick
Cons: casing is so soft
I would highly recommend passing up maxxis tires. Those things are so danged slow. Vittoria Mexcals or Teravail oxbows are what I’d look for.
Pros: Vittoria Mexcals recommended
Cons: maxxis tires slow
I love my Kryps but I’d be lying if I didn’t place them at the top of the PITA list especially the DH casing.
Cons: PITA list
