Tires OEM Chevrolet or Maxxis
If you want something that’ll stretch closer to 15 to 20k km, the Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 has held up way better for me as my last set went just under 17k km before chunking.
Since switching to Maxxis DoubleDown, I've had no problems at all.
If you want as much choice of casing and compound as possible go Maxxis - DHRII or Dissector. Dissector is faster rolling and perfect for dry loose rocky.
For proper DH right now the most loved combo is Maxxis Assegai front / Minion DHR II rear, both in DH casing + MaxxGrip.
DHR II in the back, Assegai in the front is pretty good.
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
Can be quality of tyre as well also your driving style. If tyre have soft compound it will go down quicker. I went trough set in 6 months. Maxxis premitra 5. Good grip but my god, they disappeared day by day.
Having gone from a WRX to a Chevy bolt, it is a very different experience. The WRX was a thousand times more fun. The turbo constantly begged you to go faster. It cornered flat and came with super sticky tires so you could go around a corner at a crazy speed. The bolt has solid straight line acceleration, but low rolling resistance tires make it much less fun, and slower in a lap around a track.
I had these exact tires on an Acura TL. I wouldn't recommend them, they were not great in the winter. They were also really loud on the highway and they wore really quick.
This probably won't be an issue for a 2018, but the spec tires that it comes with don't have good traction and provide a rougher ride.
