I run a DHR II and an Assegai for downhill. I love the hookup of the Assegai for varied conditions. The DHF and Assegai are both great tires but I find the Assegai more aggressive with better traction overall.
I’ve ridden both for many years. The DHF was designed and made when tires were 2.3 wide. As the front tire has generally moved to a 2.5 width the space between the centre and side knobs opened up quite a bit and there is now a vague area of less traction at certain lean angles before you get onto the side knobs.
Assegai is my favorite front tire but it is a little slow rolling. If you don't mind that then there aren't many better front tires.
I have ridden the DHF exclusively since getting my bike. I fell in love with the grip when cornering, literally feels like the bike is on rails. I have never lost the front tire in any conditions.
Dude, I have had these on my 2019 4Runner and put about 40k miles on them. Drove all over and in all conditions. I drove in the snow storm that kicked Indianapolis into -17 degree weather last January and put like 6” of snow in Northern Alabama. When I was driving south on I65 just entering the north side of Bowling Green, the snow was coming down the size of golf balls. I never even put the 4Runner in 4wd, keep it in normal drive, had about 4” of snow on the highway all the way to exit 1 outside of Nashville to get in Alabama and the roads were NOT plowed, the speedometer never went below 65-70 the whole way. I NEVER lost traction with my 285/70r17 Ridge Grapplers. Never slipped, slid, nothing.
These are quieter on the road, but that could be the more luxury cab interior. I don't feel or hear vibrations like I always did in my brother's 4x4s back in the day. They seem like a decent overall tire. They handled mud okay, and don't track up the grass on my properties, and did okay on some snow and ice recently.
I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers (similar to Falken Wildpeak) on my 2017 FXT Touring, and have Michelin CC on my wife’s Lexus RX, and given your situation I’d say the Michelin CC would do the trick and be a more comfortable drive with better MPG.
Get a new tire. But heads up maxxis are know to have wobble. My new set wobble a small bit but still shred
Mine look even worse than this and same thing. Rotated when needed and also live in NJ. No doubt the worst tires I’ve ever had on my truck. Absolutely suck in wet conditions and as they wear they get insanely loud
Also these Nittos suck lol
