I'm in ironman gen 2 from tire discounters all 4, i got all the tires and the mount and a alignment and balancing for like 400$ bucks with the deal they run. And a free oil change. But the ironmans have done me well they did good in rain and snow and i haven't exactly been nice to them, handled potholes too.
Rekon is fantastic front tire for light trail/technical XC
If you know how to handle your bike the rekon race is fine up front. I raced that with an aspen out back at the 50 mile xc race up in Bend where it was dusty all day. I was also passing many people on the downhills.
I ride with 2.35" tires front and rear on my Ripmo, one that's a little beefier up front (Schwalbe Nobby Nic) and something that rolls better in the rear (Schwalbe Racing Ralph).
The bike came with Maxxis Assegai front and rear and for the first few rides I regretted getting the bike because it felt like such a pig. The lighter tires make pedaling on flat sections and climbs *so much* more enjoyable, and I can still push it on the descents.
Maxxis Victra kuys if palit. Makapit sa basa at tuyo wag ka lang mag kakamali dumaan sa paint.
I also run 60 on the pump track. I notice the sidewall rolling over and you can hear it scrubbing when down at the pressure I dirt jump with (35). You'll have a more confident experience with the higher pressure forsure.
Ran maxxis holly rollers for years, and recently got a set of billy bonkers and I've been very happy with them.
Ironman is a value line. They are not awful, also not outstanding. Wet traction and winter traction are not gonna be their strength.
Money forced my hand a couple summers back and I had to put new front tires on my Grand Marquis at the time. Had to go cheap and bought Ironman iMove all seasons. After a few months the only positives on the ledger were that a) they had tread and b) oddly, they balanced out unbelievably well. 80 MPH on the highway, smooth as glass. Ride and handling quality deteriorated quickly from new and they got loud in a hurry.
Maxxis have become worse and worse in my experience. I switched to Conti tires, they are soooo much better.
This is one of the reasons I stopped buying Maxxis tires. Really, all tires will do it to a certain degree but Maxxis seem to be the worse IMO.
