Tires Nokia or Maxxis
I got 2 nokian ones for my front and my car rides and corners sooo much more confidently. I have a good feeling that they're going to wear a million percent better than the economy ones they replaced.
I have the Nokian Ones on one of my cars and they have been excellent. I have about 35k or so on them now and they are just below the 85% mark that is on them. Quiet, smooth, great in all weather including snow and ice.
I went Nokian Tyres One, and not from Costco. V-rated, Aramid reinforced sidewalls for pothole damage protection, and low rolling resistance
I really like the DHR as a front tire. I run it F/R sometimes. It has a slightly faster feel, good braking traction, enough bite to lay it over hard.
Excellent tire tread. But I recommend DD or DH casing instead of exo +, depending on the skill of trails you are planning to ride and how hard/advanced rider you are.
Exo is too light of a sidewall. On the front go minimum with the new exo+. Grip wise the Assegai or dhf front or good bit Assegai rear is draggy and makes a difference on the high speed jump lines. I’d go dhr2 rear in the dd casing with a liner.
I bought Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 255/45R19 last winter and they handled better than my old Xice’s
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.
I have the same Nokians... Let me tell you something, it does have great grip in winter but it's sooo noisy and it's uncomfortable. When I came back to the default Nexen tires it was like I turned the volume nob to zero. Complet silence abd I felt like I was floating.
Russian made nokians are bad for dry rot, luckily they dont make em there anymore
