Tires Laufenn or Maxxis

"LAUFENN S Fit AS" is my favorite for my M3. This is a subsidiary of Hancook.

I run a Maxxis Aggressor on the back of my bike and I love it. A DHF up front has loads of grip but the Aggressor has similar side lugs (a little smaller but not much) so the vine still turns well. At the same time, it has smaller center lugs and having swapped a DHR for it, I can certainly tell it rolls better.

Since I can't get Michelins in the sizes I run anymore, I've switched to Laufenn (by Hancook). It's German for "runner", they are inexpensive and initial performance is excellent.

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

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.

The Maxxis Ikon in dual compound would be a good choice. It won't have great grip on wet roots or rocks, but sounds like that's not a concern.

I've been riding my **Maxxis Rekon 2.4" 3C EXO** for about **700km / 435mi** now and even though I was not over the top impressed, the mix between low rolling resistance and decent grip in dry conditions was satisfying and totally met my demands - even on some rough, deep red (S2-S3) trails.

**On my last ride**, my impressions changed dramatically. The ground conditions might have been slightly looser than most of my rides but certainly nothing I havent already seen before or ridden on over the last couple of months.

After only a few kilometers, I felt **zero confidence in the tires to grip, they dealt scarily bad with loose (dry) trails** and I even crashed once

I ride them and have have never really had a problem with em. That being said, I feel like they aren’t the right tires for me.

I checked my car tires and they are Laufenn. My ride quality is quite bumpy and shaky.
