Tires Maxxis or GENERAL TIRE

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.

I have been quite happy with General RT43's in 185-6014. Good traction - even in the snow.

I went with the General GMax as05!!!! Let’s hope they are as good as everyone says and that they last for a bit!

I like the Federal 595s for track days, and I run general gmax as05 the rest of the time. Surprisingly grippy tire for an all season and pretty cheap!

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 run General Altimax arctics which are kind of budget but I have never gotten stuck.

I went with General Altimax RT-43's (H speed versions). Are they as good as the Michelins they replaced feeling wise? No. But they were affordable, have been lasting quite nicely in terms of tread life, and have been working out just fine for my uses.

I'm on my second set of maxxis and they're good for intermediate to hard stuff. If it's slippery out and I need to do a steep hill climb using momentum it's almost impossible, but I've never experienced a better softer tire yet so can't compare to anything else.

The Ardent sucks by most accounts. Read this article from [NSMB.com](https://nsmb.com/articles/ask-uncle-dave-talking-tires-maxxis/) where the Maxxis rep basically says the only reason Ardent's are even made anymore is because people recognize the name. Rekon 2.4 is my vote (not a particularly wide 2.4, more like a 2.35). Some have mentioned the Ardent Race, but the Rekon has way better cornering traction than an ardent race, and bigger center knobs than an ardent race for braking traction.
