Something like a maxxis ikon should roll great on the road and still work on trails.
They are nice tires that roll really well. Mud and other soft ground can be an issue with the low tread and cornering can be a bit iffy with minuscule side knobs and rounded profile.
If you liked the XR4 the Rekon is probably the closest, or Ardent. It's worked well for me everywhere I've taken it from Duluth to Moab, and everything in between.
Dissector front, Aggressor rear. All the grip you ever need unless you are a DH pro - and way faster than DHF/DHR
The Assegai has the best climbing traction I've ever had (used to run DHRIIs, which would be a good option as well).
After some time, I’ve discovered the Dissector is particularly sensitive to tire pressure. After I dropped the pressure a couple of psi (I’m running the 2.4WT version on a 35mm inner width 29” rim, and have settled on 24-25psi), the Dissector is running great.
I've gone from XR4s to DHR/DHF. If there is an increase in rolling resistance, the only place I think I notice it is when I'm on a very gentle downward slope, and I wonder if I'd accelerate due to gravity a little faster on the XR4s. On the other hand, when I'm doing steep technical climbing in the saddle, and putting down the kind of power that made the XR4 lose traction, the DHR has never spun out.
I ride them and have have never really had a problem with em. That being said, I feel like they aren’t the right tires for me.
If you've got the OE supplied tires on ANY trailer, I'd make a VERY strong recommendation to swap them out for a reputable brand as soon as possible.
I purchased a new MTB with the Minion setup, and figured that since they’re so well renowned, I might as well give them a chance. After 250 miles, I’ve decided that I despise these tires more than anything else I’ve ever ridden. The DHF has NO CORNERING GRIP. I have washed out more times on this tire than I have in what feels like my entire riding career prior to using the DHF. I’ve pinch flatted two DHRs. One sidewall snake bite, one puncture straight through the middle of the tread. Lastly, they have god-awful climbing grip.
