ive been running the MT-772's for about 5k miles now and they are quite impressive. I have had BFG's and Nitto Grapplers in the past and these are just as good, possibly better (and cheaper). Quite impressive on the rocks and in the mountains as they air down quite nicely and super grippy. Throw in the fact that they're not really loud on the freeway and you pretty much have all you can ask for in a mud-terrain.
I rock the maxis ardent race on my rear wheel of my 29er. Great combo but Ive been ripping the hardtail on techical single track so maybe not the best for your application.
Maxxis or Michelin Wild Enduros. I use 2.4 Enduros coming from 2.3 high rollers. The Enduros just stick man, sideways.
maxxis ardent in 26" are decent if you find it in 3C it's a nice tire for trail enduro.
I'm also currently running a MAXXIS Desert IT front tire on my KTM 1090 tubeless wheel without issue. Its a hard compound tire that is designed for the tough stuff, and I also recommend it.
The best blend of traction and longevity I've ridden so far is Maxxis Minions in the 60 compound. They held up to multiple days in Whistler Bike Park and were still in fine shape.
I just put on my 285 75 16 maxxis at811s a few days ago. Road noise is almost none, you would have to turn the speakers off and listen for it. Load rating E so stiffness is definitely a given. Braking is definitely harder because of the weight.
Gotta say, I've been a big fan of my maxxis tires. Super solid tire for a brand that isn't exactly a household name (I wouldn't call them offbrand, just not a big name).
For Maxxis exo I couldn't go below 25 in the rear without bashing my rim and getting flats.
The Ardent sucks by most accounts. Read this article from [NSMB.com](https://nsmb.com/articles/ask-uncle-dave-talking-tires-maxxis/) where the Maxxis rep basically says the only reason Ardent's are even made anymore is because people recognize the name. Rekon 2.4 is my vote (not a particularly wide 2.4, more like a 2.35). Some have mentioned the Ardent Race, but the Rekon has way better cornering traction than an ardent race, and bigger center knobs than an ardent race for braking traction.
