Tires Maxxis or Giti

I am currently running a set of Giti Dexteros on a 1997 Olds Regency. I have about 15000 miles on them and rotate every 5k. They ride great and tire wear is normal at this point. I would recommend them!

As others have stated, it is important to factor in the tire's width when discussing the transition zone on the DHF. I love the 2.3 DHF. I find the 2.5 to be very good, but less predictable.

I just ordered a set of Maxxis RC1 because of bad feedback I heard about the Proxes R. I’ve run the RC1 for a while now and they’re a great track day tire. Super consistent through long sessions and over many heat cycles.

Go for Giti or even their more popular variant in motorsports, GT Radial. They're pretty affordable and have been loving them on our Ranger.

Nebenbei läuft hier noch ein Nissan Transporter, weil der relativ wenig gefahren wird auf Allwetterreifen:

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

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.

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.

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.

Tried a DHF for the first time yesterday. That vague transition zone is REAL and I did NOT like it.
