Tires Continental or Maxxis

Mines a daily driver and I run continentals for snow and heavy rain. The only way your slipping with them is if your trying to.

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'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 love my Sports. This summer will be my second season on my current set. Only have about 11k on them so far.

The Sports are a phenomenal tire though. They handle my IS38 with ease and boy do they feel amazing in the mountains.

I agree, they are a phenomenal tire that is very well rounded.

I test drove the R4P on a warm day. The tires were squeaky as heck. The compound is super hard. When I get my R4P, I'm gonna run the stock tires until they wear out.

My gp4000's popped CONSTANTLY. Got a hole in the sidewalls in less than 500 miles.
