Owner reviews for tires

Assegai is my favorite front tire but it is a little slow rolling. If you don't mind that then there aren't many better front tires.

I have ridden the DHF exclusively since getting my bike. I fell in love with the grip when cornering, literally feels like the bike is on rails. I have never lost the front tire in any conditions.

I ride similar conditions. Went from a MaxGrip DHF to a Kryptotal. Really happy with the Conti’s

I have the WildPeaks and would buy them again. Good ride, quite, and have worn well.

Go with the hankooks, they wear like iron.

If you are new to tracking and do end up heat cycling them out, they are super consistent, which is way better to learn from.

AD09 was a fair bit faster and clearly had more outright grip. They were much less communicative and harder to drive and keep at the limit. I found they can be overdriven and may overheat more easily too. Grip levels were great though - they were even faster than my AR1s. The main issue is wear. They just don't last very long.

I bought a set of 275/50R22 Defender LTX 2 from Costco for about $305 a tire and it was a massive upgrade from OEM. Highly recommend

I bought these tires in October 2022. Not impressed. High pitched loud whine on the highway. Big flakes of the tire coming off on 2. Contacted the place I bought them from and they said it was due to rough road. I’ve always had a gravel driveway and never had this happen before 0/10 on durability and pleasantness of ride. 30000 miles and down to 30% tread already. I wouldn’t buy them again.

Made a customer cry because she couldn't afford tires for her car. University student, leased a Honda Civic but got the Sport Package which included 18" wheels with 235/45R18, and it came with a set of winter wheels/tires with Michelines.

In case anyone stumbles upon this, my 35 inch load E ridge grapplers are AMAZING in everything **but** mud. Almost got hopelessly stuck the other day. My old cooper evolutions MTs would have easily dug me out. Im looking to get out of these asap, awful for winter overlanding. If you hit mud you're screwed in Ridge Grapps
