Tires Maxxis or Barum

Maxxis Tires

The 3CT (MaxxTerra?) is a much more suitable rear tyre compound and it's already on the softer side, I can't imagine ever running a Maxxgrip rear tyre outside of pro racing as it's slow rolling and wears out incredibly fast.

Pros: suitable rear tyre compound
Cons: slow rolling, wears fast

Am Barum Polaris 5 si mi-au placut, erau ieftine, acu 3 ani le-am luat cu 1000 toate 4 205/55/R16. Sunt moi, au sant pentru aderenta pe ploaie, dar dupa teste nu par ca exceleaza acolo, eu nu am simtit, iar pe zapada sunt excelente. Barum este sub-brand Continental si au fost facute in UE. Probabil sunt prea moi, si se consuma mai rapid, dar nu ma deranjat, oricum ma lovesc mai intai de vechime decat de cat de consumate sunt, si au tinut 3 sezoane sigur merg si al patrulea. Deasemenea se umplu de pietricele prin gauri. Not top performance, dar ok,

Pros: ieftine, excelente pe zăpadă, durabile
Cons: moi, se umplu de pietricele, performanță medie pe ploaie

I never get punctures with EXO. Problem I have is the sidewall flops when I lean into fast corners with tire pressures under 25psi and that makes the cornering feel unpredictable.

Pros: no punctures
Cons: unpredictable cornering

I don’t have enough experience on Spesh tires other than the Sworks Fasttrack/Renegade I bought last year on a similar sale. They weigh in at around 620g each in the 2.35 size, which is much lighter than my Rekon Race 2.4WT at 780g. Feels nice to lose that much rotational weight and the grip I found to be similar. Also similar efficiency. What I didn’t like was the flimsy sidewall. There’s a reason they are so light. Lots of tire squirm and feeling of folding over in turns unless I ran high PSI (+5PSI compared to the Rekon Race). This is on a 30mm IW rim. Also, I had to use my tire plug for the first time on the front tire (Fasttrack). I’ve gone back to a slow XC setup of Rekon/Rekon Race this year but with a race or two coming up I’m debating what to do. I’m intrigued by the Aspen/Rekon Race combo but Aspen’s weigh about the same as my Rekon Race.

Pros: similar efficiency, nice grip
Cons: flimsy sidewall, tire squirm

My experience with minions as a casual rider in the DFL class of my local DH races is that they leak sealant out the sidewalls, don't have a good transition when leaned over, and tend to roll off the rim.

Cons: leaks sealant, rolls off
