Tires SUMITOMO or Maxxis
Maxxis Maxxlite 29x2.0
Good tire if you have a lot of paved transitions between gravel sections. 375 grams per tire.
Best snow and ice tire I\u2019ve used have been Sumitomo Ice Edge. They are studdable and they are way cheaper than the major brands. I\u2019ve got them on my 01 Jetta and 04 L300. I\u2019ve had Blizzaks but they are pricey and the Firestone Wnterforces were meh.
It seems like every time I go riding it rains here in Sweden, so its pretty unavoidable! I just wear a rain jacket and decent pants for all of my riding and fear most every root or bare rock encounter (which is constant on MTB trails).
Yung maxxis pinalit ko sa stock dunlop ng fazzio ko mas makapit pa. Hehe.. naalala ko ilan beses muntik sumemplang sa dunlop pero sa maxxis makapit na makapit.
I had Maxxis winter tires on my Kia. Near impossible to get stuck in deep snow. Wear was really good but just used in the winter. Had them for 7 years with no flats or dry rot. They did tend to wander on the highway though.
Maxxis razr AT. Just as good if not better than wild peaks and about 10lbs lighter per tire(265/70 17)
For $70 I can buy Japanese made Sumitomos which have perfectly adequate grip in most conditions and long life, but they are quite loud due to the aggressive tread.
I just put a set of Rekon Race on my Roscoe. Haven't ridden the trails yet. Our trails are hard pack dirt, with a little sand, in the woods.
My experience with minions as a casual rider in the DFL class of my local DH races is that they leak sealant out the sidewalls, don't have a good transition when leaned over, and tend to roll off the rim.
Tried a DHF for the first time yesterday. That vague transition zone is REAL and I did NOT like it.
