Tires Kumho or Maxxis

Kumho V730s.

Kumho PA31.

They’re my go-to for my dailies. Fairly priced, great wet performance and they’re pretty sticky and predictable on curvy roads. Currently have some on mine and they’ve seen several autocross weekends, mountain carving nights and are comfortable and pretty quiet during long drives and commuting while retaining good life.

Minion/Assegai/Dissector/High Roller/Shorty, they just work

Maxxis are expensive but consistently pretty good. You’ll get the odd tire with a warped casing. But overall pretty much anything they make is solid.

Good rubber. The quality and duro of the rubber and the casing is 90% of what makes a tire good. Good round tires that mount easily. Especially tubeless.

After using inferior tires for years, the maxxis high roller 2 tires specd on my bike made me realize that tire choice is the greatest factor impacting cornering confidence, hands down. Once you actually feel the difference between a regular tire and a great tire it becomes a priority in your gear choices. I’ve never tried a maxxis tire that wasn’t great at whatever its intended use case is for. Maxxis makes a tire for every kind of riding style you’re trying to achieve, and each style works as intended. It’s hard for me to move away from maxxis when I know I’m getting exactly what I expect from their product.

I used to run Kumho tires on my 99 SE-L maxima when I was in my early 20's they were decently performing tire. I pretty much only ran their UHP summer tires though. As a brand they've been around for a long long time, they are probably upper mid-range tires depending on the type you have.

Have um right now, not to bad. Quiet good in the rain there just a basic all weather really.

Came from continentals to kumhos and the wet performance is noticeably worse.

Expect to go slower. DH is for downhill. My bike came with those and my God it was a slog on flat, rolling and uphill. And forget about accelerating out of turns.
