Tires KENDA or Sailun
But I have been running Saliun Ice Blazers WST and I have found them awesome so far (2 seasons). I even took them out ice racing last year and they performed good on a frozen lake.
I have them on my 250l and they work great, they get the job done off road while still providing a lot of grip on road. The tire compound is quite soft which helps on road.
My housemate's '10 Mini Clubman has Sailun tires (not his choice) on it. In all honesty they're not bad at all, given they're still good with 10k miles on them, and the torrential rain we experienced on I-95 the past week (on a 2000+ mile trip). Likely will get better next time, but they're holding up well.
I have ran them before with no issues and descent all-season performance.
I had Kenda Kountachs and they served me well, only really got pinch flats ever and that was 100% my fault.
Nothing wrong with Kendas. They get the job done.
Talk to Daelen at MAP. He can set you up with Kenda Tires at a discount. With a KA you should make it through multiple events on one set of Kendas.
Running Atrezzo Z4+AS. So far I like them.
They had been recommended to me by a couple friends, but obviously you have to try it before you really know. This is *my* take on these tires **after only one ride**. I can corner better than I've ever been able to on a 29er. I feel more comfortable going through loose sand and dirt. Traction on most surfaces that I rode on (packed dirt, loose dirt, rocks, road, and gravel) was much higher. Due to the above, I was able to go faster through more areas of trail. Rolling over small objects was smoother. Rolling resistance is much higher than I had thought, but it doesn't stop you dead. To me, this simply means I have to work a little harder, which I have no problem doing.
