Tires Maxxis or OEM Volkswagen

Nothing wrong with DHF front and rear, a little faster than DHR II and still plenty of braking grip.

Personally, I will never not recommend Maxxis Re-Fuse. Crappy city streets strewn with broken everything, one puncture in a dozen years. I’m on my third pair only because treads wear out. Not the greatest rolling resistance, apparently, but not really a concern for me

A Maxxis Shorty in DD casing and Max-Grip compound is about as slow a tyre as you can get - a Maxxis Rekon Race in Exo casing and Max-Speed compound is about the fastest thing you can put on your rims.

I'm currently running Maxxis Razr AT811 tyres. They are pretty quiet and handle great on road, and are definitely capable offroad too.

I only did a couple miles since adding them, but the difference is insane. Rolls like a road bike, but with WAY more confidence to go over anything. I can send it into a 90 degree road turn at full speed and it's not even pushing it. They're fast.

I run Maxxis Razr AT’s. Highly recommend. Live in Washington so I get all kinds of weather. They’re killer in snow and rain. Smooth ride and look great

Best all-round trail / enduro tires imho: Maxxis Minion DHF (front) and Minion DHR II (rear). I run 2.5 and 2.4, respectively. Get the WT (wide trail) variant if your rim inner width is 20+mm. Dual compound good for durability. The DHF has great breaking and turning control and last me 100+ hrs. The rear is great for techie climbs.

I tried the Rekons. In the EXO casing. Lasted about 2 months before it succumbed to our thorny trails. I loved the speed but hated the grip on our dry loose over hard.

I've been riding my **Maxxis Rekon 2.4" 3C EXO** for about **700km / 435mi** now and even though I was not over the top impressed, the mix between low rolling resistance and decent grip in dry conditions was satisfying and totally met my demands - even on some rough, deep red (S2-S3) trails.

**On my last ride**, my impressions changed dramatically. The ground conditions might have been slightly looser than most of my rides but certainly nothing I havent already seen before or ridden on over the last couple of months.

After only a few kilometers, I felt **zero confidence in the tires to grip, they dealt scarily bad with loose (dry) trails** and I even crashed once

I fitted a Maxxis 2.50 WT DHF to my i25 rims. It squirmed and rolled like nobody’s business and cornering was downright scary. I doubt things will be much better on an i28 rim.
