vs
Tires Uniroyal or Maxxis
Crossmark grips better than Ikon in wet conditions
Pros: better grip in wet
Assegai MaxxGrip is a lot, but awesome on loose over hard and great on everything else except mud.
Pros: awesome on loose over hard
Cons: a lot
Nothing wrong with DHF front and rear, a little faster than DHR II and still plenty of braking grip.
Pros: plenty of braking grip
Cons: wears super quickly
Personally, I will never not recommend Maxxis Re-Fuse. Crappy city streets strewn with broken everything, one puncture in a dozen years. I’m on my third pair only because treads wear out. Not the greatest rolling resistance, apparently, but not really a concern for me
Pros: one puncture in years
Cons: not greatest rolling resistance
I use Uniroyal winter tires, and I'm happy with the quality vs the price.
Pros: good quality, good price
I'm a fan of the Uniroyal Laredo HT. Uniroyal is owned by Michelin but you'll save upwards of 75 bucks or more per tire.
Uniroyal has been a great tire for 130 years too
Pros: great tire
Cons: save money
A Maxxis Shorty in DD casing and Max-Grip compound is about as slow a tyre as you can get - a Maxxis Rekon Race in Exo casing and Max-Speed compound is about the fastest thing you can put on your rims.
Pros: fastest thing
Cons: slow a tyre
Been pleasantly surprised at how good they are. Car handles as well as it did with stock tires. They have 65K mile warranty. They also are not louder than stock tires.
Pros: good, handles well, not louder
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
I tried the Rekons. In the EXO casing. Lasted about 2 months before it succumbed to our thorny trails. I loved the speed but hated the grip on our dry loose over hard.
Pros: loved the speed
Cons: hated the grip
I got the cheapest snow tires possible for my first set, Uniroyal TigerPaw on Steelies. They suck on dry pavement. I had to floor it on a turn from a standstill as I realized someone was doing 80+ through the light I was taking a left at. Ive never had all four tires spin on dry pavement in any subaru Ive owned.
Pros: cheapest snow tires possible
Cons: suck on dry pavement
Vehicle:
Subaru
