Tires Maxxis or Triangle
Maxxis DTH come in 2.3! But I find the 2.1's to be bouncy enough - havent tried 2.3.
Pros: bouncy enough
Works pretty well for me. I run 2.3" Maxxis DHR II.
Pros: works pretty well
DHR II 2.4WT exists in double down and EXO casing at least in 27.5 -- I own both.
I have liked maxxis crossmark.
Pros: good rolling
On my XC hardtail I have a Maxxis 2.4 Ardent on the front, and a Maxxis 2.2 Ikon on the rear. It is a great combo so far.
Pros: great combo so far
I just put some 2.25" Maxxis Ardent TR EXOs on my Trek 29er and they have been awesome so far. Tons of grip compared to the bontragers I had (cheaper ones that came with my bike).
Pros: tons of grip
Maxxis all the way. Seem to be the best combo of grip, price, durability, and weight.
Pros: best combo of grip
Your trails sound pretty similar to what I ride. I have a set of Ardent 2.25s that I really like.
Pros: really like
Ardent rolls well but is lacking in traction. If you want to take corners fast, I would stay away from Ardent in the front - there is a dead zone between the middle and side knobs that will feel vague especially when cornering.
Pros: rolls well
Cons: lacking in traction
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
