vs
Tires Maxxis or SUNNY
I switched from the momentums to the grifters and am glad I did.
I bought a Trek Fuel EX this year, which comes with XR4 tires. I switched to Maxxis DHR/DHF after a month, and the improvement in grip is very noticeable. On technical climbs, its pretty easy for me to lose traction with the XR4 when I'm putting a lot of power down on a steep section. With the Maxxis tires on those same climbs, I never spin out. On the other hand, the rolling resistance is higher.
Pros: improvement in grip noticeable
Cons: rolling resistance higher
My bike came with 27.5 **Ardent Race** tires and they are super fast and plenty grippy for most days. The side lugs grab corners really nicely. I have some 60tpi Ardents around and they are heavier and slower feeling.
Pros: super fast, plenty grippy
Cons: heavier and slower feeling
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.
Pros: super grippy, not really loud
Mileage: 8046 km
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.
Pros: great combo
Cons: maybe not the best
Maxxis or Michelin Wild Enduros. I use 2.4 Enduros coming from 2.3 high rollers. The Enduros just stick man, sideways.
Pros: just stick sideways
maxxis ardent in 26" are decent if you find it in 3C it's a nice tire for trail enduro.
Pros: nice tire, 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.
Pros: designed for tough stuff
Aggressor has all the traction of a Dhr while rolling a touch faster. It's pretty shit in the wet though.
Pros: good traction, faster rolling
Cons: shit in the wet
If the DHFs are hard to mount on a given rim, particularly Stans, wait till you try a Maxxis Ikon. One of the hardest tyres I've ever installed.
Cons: hardest tyre to install
