Tires Nexen or Maxxis
I love my nexen nprix 8. Going to get another set soon.
I have been a big fan of Nexen tires for some time... Sent two kids to college on them in the Dakotas where conditions can be less than ideal. And we have used their winter tires, performance tires, and truck tires as well and I can say I don't really have any negatives to say for the price... They are solid, budget tires in the same league as Cooper, General, Falken, and Yokohama... They are not Michelins or Bridgestones, but they don't try to be either.
I ran Exo for a year and ride on trails littered with basalt which is known to have very sharp edges, never had an issue with sidewall slicing.
EXO is plenty for XC and most trail riding IMO.
I run Exo casing and have had zero flats or issues. Had over 60 rides on the last pair. Would recommend
I run exo casing on my dhrii & haven’t had any punctures
I’ve run EXO tyres for years without any problems.
I LOVE the aggressor but I agree that punchy technical climbs are its weak point and will often spin out.
My maxxis tires usually last max 350miles in rear. My last dissector neede to be ditched after ~150-200 miles since knobs ripped apart.
I love how lightweight and supple the DTH are. Really fast, even though they're quite baloony. But they are one of the worst tires when it comes to puncture protection: I already knew that they're prone to flats when I rode the 37-451 Silkworm version. But the 26" MaxxPro version is just as bad. Tiny glass shards find their way to the tube as if they went through butter.
