Tires Maxxis or OEM Porsche

Exo is too light of a sidewall. On the front go minimum with the new exo+. Grip wise the Assegai or dhf front or good bit Assegai rear is draggy and makes a difference on the high speed jump lines. I’d go dhr2 rear in the dd casing with a liner.

I ran Exo for a year and ride on trails littered with basalt which is known to have very sharp edges, never had an issue with sidewall slicing.

EXO is plenty for XC and most trail riding IMO.

I run Exo casing and have had zero flats or issues. Had over 60 rides on the last pair. Would recommend

I run exo casing on my dhrii & haven’t had any punctures

I’ve run EXO tyres for years without any problems.

But its still a beefy maxxis tire. Im riding a dhr exo rear on my hardtail no insert and 18psi. Works great.

They run a bit narrow but I haven’t measured

I recently bought a ‘16 with 6,500 miles. Most everything checked out but the tires were original and dry rotted to hell.

I love how lightweight and supple the DTH are. Really fast, even though they're quite baloony. But they are one of the worst tires when it comes to puncture protection: I already knew that they're prone to flats when I rode the 37-451 Silkworm version. But the 26" MaxxPro version is just as bad. Tiny glass shards find their way to the tube as if they went through butter.
