vs
Tires OEM Toyota or Maxxis
Reviews
The maxxis dth in the 2.3 has been my absolute favorite commuter tire for a long time. I still can't believe how light they are compared to other tires of this size. Tire tread is great for pavement and hard pack. Even had them out for some serious loaded touring and praised them.
Pros: light, great tire tread
Cons: sidewall protection
Went from dhf/dhr II combo to kryptotal enduro soft fr/re and never coming back to maxxis
Pros: never coming back
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.
Pros: good braking traction
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.
Pros: excellent tire tread
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.
Pros: good grip
Cons: Assegai rear is draggy
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.
Pros: no sidewall slicing
EXO is plenty for XC and most trail riding IMO.
Pros: plenty for XC
Lol, zero grip on dry pavement? They aren’t the best tires, but I really didn’t have any major complaints after 35k miles and ended up buying a second set of brand new take-offs to replace them.
Pros: bought second set
Cons: not the best tires
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 56327 km
I'm on my second set of maxxis and they're good for intermediate to hard stuff. If it's slippery out and I need to do a steep hill climb using momentum it's almost impossible, but I've never experienced a better softer tire yet so can't compare to anything else.
Pros: good for intermediate, hard stuff
Cons: slippery hill climb impossible
I love how lightweight and supple the DTH are. Really fast, even though they're quite baloony. But they are one of the worst tires when it comes to puncture protection: I already knew that they're prone to flats when I rode the 37-451 Silkworm version. But the 26" MaxxPro version is just as bad. Tiny glass shards find their way to the tube as if they went through butter.
Pros: lightweight and supple, really fast
Cons: poor puncture protection
