Tires Goodyear or Maxxis

My 2.3s were 55mm on some wide 1980s rims. I'll remount them on different rims soon and can measure then

My DTH 2.15 looks like about 2" exactly

Goodyear eagle ones on the factory 19s. Solid ride, comfortable, and plenty of traction

I've got Goodyear Reliant All-Seasons on mine currently. Got them for $62 a piece last Novermber, and have good luck with most Goodyear and Cooper tires.

Tires did extremely well and im very impressed with the Goodyear eagle F1 super sports, no greasiness, super communicative, and got gripper as heat went up.

I ride on a DHR2 rear in DD casing and MaxxTerra compound, and an Assegai front in EXO+ MaxxGrip. Really good combo for the descents but a little bit slow on the climbs.

If you’re keeping the stock 225/55R17 size I highly recommend Goodyear Viva 3s. They did amazing all Michigan winter delivering pizza, never got stuck. Solid All-Seasons

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.

My experience with Goodyear is that they are trash.

The Ardent sucks by most accounts. Read this article from [NSMB.com](https://nsmb.com/articles/ask-uncle-dave-talking-tires-maxxis/) where the Maxxis rep basically says the only reason Ardent's are even made anymore is because people recognize the name. Rekon 2.4 is my vote (not a particularly wide 2.4, more like a 2.35). Some have mentioned the Ardent Race, but the Rekon has way better cornering traction than an ardent race, and bigger center knobs than an ardent race for braking traction.
