vs
Tires Maxxis or VITOUR
I moved to the Vitour P1 last season. They're finally sanctioned this year. But more than that, holy hell do they last forever.
Nothing faster (they're on par with the a052). And yet... They last.
I did five events and 6,500 miles street and there's hardly any wear. As in, there's an etched swordfish logo on the tread block that's not even 1/32 deep and it's still visible!
I ran them in the remnants of Hurricane Helene (NC here) and had no issues even on the highway. Their cheesy named "water laser" technology seems to actually work.
Pros: last forever, good wet performance
Mileage: 10460 km
Another dhr could work. They roll super fast for their chunk.
Pros: roll super fast
I've had good luck with the Maxxis tires, I've had them on all three of our trailers without a failure.
Pros: no failures
I ride mixed terrain and a good all year tyre for me is the Assegai. With that said, I had DHF front and rear on my old bike and it was stuck to the ground like glue.
Pros: stuck to the ground
Very dusty here, prefer DHF over Assegai. Also prefer Dissector on rear, I find that combo rolls well and has heaps of traction in the dry.
Pros: heaps of traction
Cons: more rolling resistance
Assegai is very good but be aware it can be very cloggy with mud and needs speed to clear. From what you say of your riding it might not be a problem for you but wet clay especially on slower tech trails can pretty much just turn them into a slick.
Pros: pays back with grip
Cons: can be very cloggy
I've ran the DHF for years and currently run it, but I've ridden a few bikes with the Assegai and I think it is in every way a better, more predictable tyre than a DHF.
Pros: better, more predictable tyre
DHRs are grippy as hell but are not fast rolling. I swapped out for DHF and DHR to see about getting some extra grip and it was an absolute disaster when it came time to pedal. Ended up leaving the DHF on but putting the DHR back on the rear. I feel like it was a good compromise.
Pros: extra grip
Cons: not fast rolling
Get a new tire. But heads up maxxis are know to have wobble. My new set wobble a small bit but still shred
Pros: still shred
Cons: known to wobble
Exo and exo+ in my area will reliably puncture right through the top of the tire within three rides or less typically.
Cons: reliably puncture
