These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.

Pros: as-new condition
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I ride on a DHR2 rear in DD casing and MaxxTerra compound, and an Assegai front in EXO+ MaxxGrip. Really good combo for the descents but a little bit slow on the climbs.

Pros: good for descents
Cons: slow on climbs

The Maxxis Ikon in dual compound would be a good choice. It won't have great grip on wet roots or rocks, but sounds like that's not a concern.

Pros: good choice
Cons: not great wet grip

Something like a maxxis ikon should roll great on the road and still work on trails.

Pros: roll great on road
Cons: null

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.

Pros: roll really well
Cons: iffy cornering, soft ground

Overall the I found the GTI was very impressive at a track that doesn't cater to FWD and with terrible 560tw all seasons.

Pros: very impressive
Cons: terrible all seasons
Vehicle: Volkswagen

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.

Pros: worked well everywhere
Cons: slow rolling

The ride on 20" are quite harsh when compared to all other smaller wheels sizes with the same tires. I got 20" for both summer and winter, rosario ones, obviously with different tires and the winter tires with have a softer widewall and generally more rubber not being a low profile tires rides much better than the summer tires.

Pros: winter tires ride better
Cons: 20" ride quite harsh

Cons: slide almost into curb
