NT01's are always my go-to. They aren't as sticky, but man, you can run them to the cords and they still perform.
Minion/Assegai/Dissector/High Roller/Shorty, they just work
Maxxis are expensive but consistently pretty good. You’ll get the odd tire with a warped casing. But overall pretty much anything they make is solid.
Good rubber. The quality and duro of the rubber and the casing is 90% of what makes a tire good. Good round tires that mount easily. Especially tubeless.
After using inferior tires for years, the maxxis high roller 2 tires specd on my bike made me realize that tire choice is the greatest factor impacting cornering confidence, hands down. Once you actually feel the difference between a regular tire and a great tire it becomes a priority in your gear choices. I’ve never tried a maxxis tire that wasn’t great at whatever its intended use case is for. Maxxis makes a tire for every kind of riding style you’re trying to achieve, and each style works as intended. It’s hard for me to move away from maxxis when I know I’m getting exactly what I expect from their product.
I have tried many tires. I ride desert southwest US, just about every trail is rocky, angular, chunky, loose stuff that can shred a tire. When it comes down to it- the maxxis tires hold traction longer than anything, and they last longer than anything else.
I have Nittos. They look cool, did great in the snow last year. Downright terrifying cornering in the rain.
I went from stock-like tires (Atturo TrailBlades, P275/60r20) to Nitto Exo-Grapplers (LT275/60r20, E-rated). I lost approximately 1mpg highway, 1.5-2 city.
With 2 sets of Ridge Grapplers, I always had one that the tire shop never could balance. Plus they aren’t any quieter than a mud terrain.
Don’t get Trail Grapplers for the road. Loud AF and bumpy.
