*Nokian Hakkapeliitta are amazing tires. Have never had any issues with these. The noise isn't too bad and the rubber is still in great shape. Now saying this, this is the last year i can use them according to the internet. Still look almost new, bought 8 years ago, store inside during the summer. Again still in amazing shape, and honestly the best snow tire ive ever had. The longevity on these is absurd.*
Get yourself a brand new set of nokian hekkopolita 10 studded winter tires.
I used to buy CEAT, MRF and APOLLO before. For my Himalayan Apollo was the worst in terms of wet grip. Am trying Maxxiss RN and it's the best in Budget
Slap on a set of studded Nokian Hakkapelitta 10s.... Nothing will stop you
Yeah I got nokkian winters and it's been awesome! Wipers are terrible design though
Rekon is fantastic front tire for light trail/technical XC
If you know how to handle your bike the rekon race is fine up front. I raced that with an aspen out back at the 50 mile xc race up in Bend where it was dusty all day. I was also passing many people on the downhills.
I ride with 2.35" tires front and rear on my Ripmo, one that's a little beefier up front (Schwalbe Nobby Nic) and something that rolls better in the rear (Schwalbe Racing Ralph).
The bike came with Maxxis Assegai front and rear and for the first few rides I regretted getting the bike because it felt like such a pig. The lighter tires make pedaling on flat sections and climbs *so much* more enjoyable, and I can still push it on the descents.
I have the same noise with the Nokians compared to my outgoing Yokohama Geolandar G015 AT tires. My Yokohamas were dead silent in comparison.
Nokian WRG3s were the loudest tire I've owned by far when worn, even louder than the cheap studded winters that replaced them. Also had tons of dryrot at 4 yrs old.
