As others have stated, it is important to factor in the tire's width when discussing the transition zone on the DHF. I love the 2.3 DHF. I find the 2.5 to be very good, but less predictable.
I put some NITTO RECON grapplers on and i’m loving them, 2+ (almost 3) years… doesn’t kill the range as bad as others but still has a semi aggressive look, I do mix street and highway driving, not too loud either
I’ve had the Recon Grapplers on mine for about 6 months now. Great tire!
Love my nitro ridge grapplers. Quietest but best looking tire imo.
Ordered 21 times from rock auto queen Vicki got new inner outer tie rods quick struts cargo springs and taxi rear shocks string alignment keep original air box temu intake tube modify front of box with a second 3 inch tub be sure air is cold as possible she has the 5.4 block holds 7.2 quarts of oil 235/75/17 tires xl nitto front rear is phantom excellent mpg
I just ordered a set of Maxxis RC1 because of bad feedback I heard about the Proxes R. I’ve run the RC1 for a while now and they’re a great track day tire. Super consistent through long sessions and over many heat cycles.
I don’t have enough experience on Spesh tires other than the Sworks Fasttrack/Renegade I bought last year on a similar sale. They weigh in at around 620g each in the 2.35 size, which is much lighter than my Rekon Race 2.4WT at 780g. Feels nice to lose that much rotational weight and the grip I found to be similar. Also similar efficiency. What I didn’t like was the flimsy sidewall. There’s a reason they are so light. Lots of tire squirm and feeling of folding over in turns unless I ran high PSI (+5PSI compared to the Rekon Race). This is on a 30mm IW rim. Also, I had to use my tire plug for the first time on the front tire (Fasttrack). I’ve gone back to a slow XC setup of Rekon/Rekon Race this year but with a race or two coming up I’m debating what to do. I’m intrigued by the Aspen/Rekon Race combo but Aspen’s weigh about the same as my Rekon Race.
They are definitely not twice as good. I was riding a Rekon/Ardent race combo and replaced them with Fast Track/ Renegade while those were on sale and I don’t feel like I’ve had any drop in performance.
Yeah these are the worst tires I’ve ever owned. I’ve had mine for almost 3 years and notice this HS starting last year. I’m in Chicago area. Then.. last week i hit a pothole when it was pretty cold(that wasn’t even that bad of a pothole) that caused my side wall to tear. The durability on these tires is pathetic.
My ridge grapplers slide in the rain more than any tire I’ve had. I’ll go to turn and I won’t even be going fast and I’ll just keep sliding the way I was going.
