Tires BRIDGESTONE or Maxxis

At the end (last quarter of life) you can feel the grip slowly decreasing (mostly with the rear tire), but they're not becoming vicious at any moment.

I changed them at this moment because I was moving to the advanced group, but they're awesome tires : great mileage, great performance on the road (if you need more on the streets you're a criminal ????) and still good when it's cold or raining (not as good as the T32, but still very acceptable).

I've gone from XR4s to DHR/DHF. If there is an increase in rolling resistance, the only place I think I notice it is when I'm on a very gentle downward slope, and I wonder if I'd accelerate due to gravity a little faster on the XR4s. On the other hand, when I'm doing steep technical climbing in the saddle, and putting down the kind of power that made the XR4 lose traction, the DHR has never spun out.

Having ridden the XR5, XR/SE4, DHF, DHR2, Dissector the XR5 is closest to the DHR2 3C EXO. If you liked the XR5 as a front, you'll get along really well with the DHR2.

Looks like the dhr2/aggressor would be the closest match looking at the tread and tread size. You could go with the slightly slower (contentious claim on here) but more common front dhf/aggressor. I prefer the dhr2 over the dhf but giving the assegai a try once trails are opened here.

Edit: I run a DHF/Dissector combo, grippy in the front, speedier but still grippy in the rear.

I have Bridgestone Potenza RE 71R tires and love them. Around town they are a bit stiff over bumps but around corners and higher speeds they are unreal traction and ride quality, Love them. I’ve never had them slide out on me and they are very sticky

I've put a couple hundred K's on mine and so far I love them. Great for street, gravel, dry dirt. The only issue I've had is the occasional wet mud on a trail. These get real squirmy in wet corners but I can't fault the tire, that's not what they're designed for.

I just put four new Bridgestone Ecopia’s on my 2016 LX and I’m noticing a smoother, softer ride. Not much quieter, as I detected a bit more road noise than my last set, but I think that’s because my old tires were so worn down.

The Bridgestone RE780 AS is another excellent tire- I'd say it's nearly as good as the Michelin, definitely better than the BFG. Where it falls down is cost- it's about the same price as the Michelin PS A/S line of all seasons and does not have the same performance. Great in the dry, great in the wet- the dry grip is not as good as the Michelin.

I was unfortunate to receive my GTI with a set of the RE97AS's. Rough surfaces are the worst - makes everything in the car rattle or vibrate. Dry grip is quite poor (as others have mentioned), bad breakaway even at low throttle inputs. At cruising speeds on newer highways (rubberized asphalt) everything seems fine.
