Tires OEM BMW or Maxxis
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.
Pros: many better front tires
Cons: little slow rolling
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.
Pros: grip when cornering
well, if your in japan my shop just recieved a 24x2.4 dhf. It’s s very high quality tire!
Pros: very high quality
The only thing I’d add is I’d suggest them in Maxxspeed, but they are only available in 2.35. Rode them front/rear last season and they were excellent.
Pros: they were excellent
Cons: only available in 2.35
I've been really impressed recently with the Conti tires (Cross Kings or Race Kings depending on how XC you want to go with it), specifically the ProTection versions with the Black Chili compound. Coming from Maxxis stuff I've been surprised by the amount of grip they have given how fast-rolling they are, at least for my local conditions (New England, so rocks, roots, more roots, a few roots, some roots, roots, rocks, roots, some more roots, a lot of roots, and roots.)
Pros: amount of grip
Cons: hard to find
2.4 Rekon Race Front 2.4 Aspen ST. This is the fastest combo I have ever run. Same type of trails hard pack.
Pros: fastest combo ever
DHRs are grippy as hell but are not fast rolling. I swapped out for DHF and DHR to see about getting some extra grip and it was an absolute disaster when it came time to pedal. Ended up leaving the DHF on but putting the DHR back on the rear. I feel like it was a good compromise.
Pros: extra grip
Cons: not fast rolling
Get a new tire. But heads up maxxis are know to have wobble. My new set wobble a small bit but still shred
Pros: still shred
Cons: known to wobble
Maxxis is a shit tire company. Their quality is atrocious pretty much post covid
Cons: atrocious quality, post covid
My maxxis tires usually last max 350miles in rear. My last dissector neede to be ditched after ~150-200 miles since knobs ripped apart.
Cons: knobs ripped apart
Mileage: 350 km
