Tires Maxxis or Hifly

I run a DHR II and an Assegai for downhill. I love the hookup of the Assegai for varied conditions. The DHF and Assegai are both great tires but I find the Assegai more aggressive with better traction overall.

I’ve ridden both for many years. The DHF was designed and made when tires were 2.3 wide. As the front tire has generally moved to a 2.5 width the space between the centre and side knobs opened up quite a bit and there is now a vague area of less traction at certain lean angles before you get onto the side knobs.

Assegai is my favorite front tire but it is a little slow rolling. If you don't mind that then there aren't many better front tires.

I have ridden the DHF exclusively since getting my bike. I fell in love with the grip when cornering, literally feels like the bike is on rails. I have never lost the front tire in any conditions.

I have old michelin 185hr15 on mine, but for 14 inch the closest That was cheap and available was HiFly 195/70r14 for $90 a piece

well, if your in japan my shop just recieved a 24x2.4 dhf. It’s s very high quality tire!

Get a new tire. But heads up maxxis are know to have wobble. My new set wobble a small bit but still shred

I ride Ardents for XC and some light trail riding. They're good tires until you hit mud and wet rocks. I recently tried a faster rolling tire but felt I went slower because the grip was drastically reduced. I think they're a good all around tire but they don't excel at any one thing.

Huh. When I try the DHF in back, the braking is just to unpredictable for me.

I had a sidewall get punctured pretty badly on the EXO casing tires that came with my bike riding in Southern California.
