Tires Maxxis or GT Radial

I have used the Rekon/Rekon Race combo and it is good for xc. I’m currently on Vittoria Barzo/Mezcal and I like them a little bit more than the Maxxis combo

Rekon for the rear - Forecaster for the front. Super light - super fast - and good for all scenarios other than wet mud.

My favorite trail bike combo right now is a DHR2 front and dissector rear but I’m considering switching to rekon rear.

Maxxis Razr ATs. They handle great and served me well in winter driving.

Minimum ko is Maxxis.

None of the above. Safety mo nakasalalay dyan. Always remember buy it nice or buy it twice. Go for reputable brands like Dunlop Michellin Pirelli or Maxxis.

I’m 84 kg, use Maxxis tires with an 2.5 Assegai EXO+ tire up front and a 2.4 DHR II DoubleDown casing in the rear. I ride and race reasonably hard/fast. I’m using 22/23, but when I have an EXO+ casing out back I have to up that a couple psi to keep from denting my rim.

Not my favorite tire but rubber and casing make a bigger difference than tread patterns. Especially in the roots and rocks. I'd take a 3c Maxxis anything over a Kenda every time.

I am not a fan of ardents. They roll fast but have a habit of loosing grip when you least expect it and suck at regaining grip once they start to slide. I'm running Recons front and back and really like the set up. They roll pretty fast and are usually very predictable.

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