Tires Maxxis or Sailun
Americus and Sailun are surprisingly tough tires for the money
Living in Germany, my small-ish town German mechanic ordered me Nexen (Korean) for winter and Sailun (Chinese) for summer, saying they're just as good as anything else and much cheaper. I never had an issue, even with Autobahn use every other weekend.
Sailun makes good tires, but if you are getting those Goodyear at the same price point as the Sailun, it is a no brainer for the Goodyear.
You can look up the sailun brand they make good tires sailun terramax for trucks. I have on my SUV sailun inspire and it's been good so far the experience
It all depends on how much you want to spend you can get away with sailun inspire tires I have them on my car and they have been great in dry and wet and it was 33% cheaper than the Michelin defenders
I have sailun e-range. Solid choice.
Ridden both for XC racing and I have come to prefer the specialized tires over maxxis. I personally like to run ground control T5 upfront with fast track t5 in the rear as my base for my local trails and most race courses ( mid Atlantic area US) . If the course is hard pack and not super technical I’ll run fast track upfront with fast track or renegade in the rear. My I also found to get I got pinch flats more often on maxxis or side wall cuts through rock gardens. This is completely a personal preference but I’ve also felt more in control of the bike with specialized tires I mentioned
I have also ridden both. Like pretty much everyone else here said, it’s a matter of personal preference. I had a lot of problems with the 120 TPI Maxxis XC tires where I live because we have a lot of sharp rocks. I have been using the 60 TPI rekon race tires for the last couple of months and they have been great.
I had 2.6 on mine and hated them. Too draggy heavy and slow. Switched to 2.4 all round and it's much more responsive in corners. I'm running Maxxis Ardent exo. No good for wet sloppy stuff,but great for dry or gritty trails.
My maxxis tires usually last max 350miles in rear. My last dissector neede to be ditched after ~150-200 miles since knobs ripped apart.
