Tires YOKOHAMA or Maxxis
Minion/Assegai/Dissector/High Roller/Shorty, they just work
Maxxis are expensive but consistently pretty good. You’ll get the odd tire with a warped casing. But overall pretty much anything they make is solid.
Good rubber. The quality and duro of the rubber and the casing is 90% of what makes a tire good. Good round tires that mount easily. Especially tubeless.
After using inferior tires for years, the maxxis high roller 2 tires specd on my bike made me realize that tire choice is the greatest factor impacting cornering confidence, hands down. Once you actually feel the difference between a regular tire and a great tire it becomes a priority in your gear choices. I’ve never tried a maxxis tire that wasn’t great at whatever its intended use case is for. Maxxis makes a tire for every kind of riding style you’re trying to achieve, and each style works as intended. It’s hard for me to move away from maxxis when I know I’m getting exactly what I expect from their product.
I have tried many tires. I ride desert southwest US, just about every trail is rocky, angular, chunky, loose stuff that can shred a tire. When it comes down to it- the maxxis tires hold traction longer than anything, and they last longer than anything else.
I own 25 gli and I can confirm the tires it came with is horrible and my first '15 jetta still on the tires Yokohama advan a/s+ ultra performance since I bought so I'm planning to get same tires on my gli because they handled great in all seasons tbh I never had problems with snow or rain they get traction pretty well.
Vitour P1 is faster. A052 are awesome tires. I prefer the stiffness of the re71rs.
I have them on a Genesis g80, they have just over 47,000 miles on them. Love them. Very quiet, great traction even in a little snow/sleet. Good ride. I had Michelin on before and they were slightly quieter but I only got 24k miles out of them. I can easily get 20,000 more miles out of these Yokohamas. Great tire for the price in my opinion.
Those came on my truck when I bought it new. Very average tire that's not good for any nasty stuff.
I had a sidewall get punctured pretty badly on the EXO casing tires that came with my bike riding in Southern California.
