Tires Maxxis or DEXTER

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 have tried many tires. I ride desert southwest US, just about every trail is rocky, angular, chunky, loose stuff that can shred a tire. When it comes down to it- the maxxis tires hold traction longer than anything, and they last longer than anything else.

I know this is an old thread, but still posting for the people that find this when researching this tire on Google. I bought my 93 GMC about 2.5 years ago and the PO had just put a set of these on the truck. I'm not a fan of cheap tires, but I've been very happy with these. Not loud at all, great grip on dry payment and off road. They also haven't worn out nearly as bad as previous A/T tires I've had in the past.

I've had them for 2 years now and still have plenty of tread left. I haven't got stuck or had any issues with them. Somewhat slick when taking off on a wet road.

Another dhr could work. They roll super fast for their chunk.

I've had good luck with the Maxxis tires, I've had them on all three of our trailers without a failure.

The aggressor is faster on hard pack but awful on mud. Dissector makes a better rear tire I think, it’s similar to the dhr but a little faster. Unless they’ve changed the tire, the cornering knobs tend to get shredded quickly.

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.

Exo and exo+ in my area will reliably puncture right through the top of the tire within three rides or less typically.
