vs
Tires Maxxis or WEST LAKE
Westlake makes pretty affordable tires that should be within your budget. They perform decently well but dont last as long as a standard tire from my experience. I believe I got approximately 25k miles out of them
Pros: affordable tires, decent performance
Cons: dont last as long
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Mileage: 40233 km
If you want something that’ll stretch closer to 15 to 20k km, the Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 has held up way better for me as my last set went just under 17k km before chunking.
Pros: held up way better
Cons: before chunking
Mileage: 17000 km
Since switching to Maxxis DoubleDown, I've had no problems at all.
Pros: no problems at all
If you want as much choice of casing and compound as possible go Maxxis - DHRII or Dissector. Dissector is faster rolling and perfect for dry loose rocky.
Pros: faster rolling, perfect
Cons: hard to get
For proper DH right now the most loved combo is Maxxis Assegai front / Minion DHR II rear, both in DH casing + MaxxGrip.
Pros: most loved combo
DHR II in the back, Assegai in the front is pretty good.
Pros: pretty good
Can be quality of tyre as well also your driving style. If tyre have soft compound it will go down quicker. I went trough set in 6 months. Maxxis premitra 5. Good grip but my god, they disappeared day by day.
Pros: Good grip
Cons: disappeared day by day
Gravel tires don\u2019t have great puncture resistance generally, short of something like a 40mm Maxxis refuse. You really want to set these up tubeless. I would constantly get slow flats from flint or road debris when I ran WTBs with tubes.
Cons: slow flats from debris
I had these exact tires on an Acura TL. I wouldn't recommend them, they were not great in the winter. They were also really loud on the highway and they wore really quick.
Cons: loud, wore quick
Vehicle:
Acura TL
Yep the Westlake winters on my 2019 Honda Passport have me wondering if i have winters on at all.
Cons: wondering if i have winters
Vehicle:
Honda
