Tires Maxxis or OEM Volkswagen

I switched from the momentums to the grifters and am glad I did.

I did get new wheels and tires and couldn\u2019t be happier. The 205/55s are a better choice for general use, being much quieter overall and considerably less harsh on city streets, while keeping very solid highway performance.

I bought a Trek Fuel EX this year, which comes with XR4 tires. I switched to Maxxis DHR/DHF after a month, and the improvement in grip is very noticeable. On technical climbs, its pretty easy for me to lose traction with the XR4 when I'm putting a lot of power down on a steep section. With the Maxxis tires on those same climbs, I never spin out. On the other hand, the rolling resistance is higher.

My bike came with 27.5 **Ardent Race** tires and they are super fast and plenty grippy for most days. The side lugs grab corners really nicely. I have some 60tpi Ardents around and they are heavier and slower feeling.

ive been running the MT-772's for about 5k miles now and they are quite impressive. I have had BFG's and Nitto Grapplers in the past and these are just as good, possibly better (and cheaper). Quite impressive on the rocks and in the mountains as they air down quite nicely and super grippy. Throw in the fact that they're not really loud on the freeway and you pretty much have all you can ask for in a mud-terrain.

I rock the maxis ardent race on my rear wheel of my 29er. Great combo but Ive been ripping the hardtail on techical single track so maybe not the best for your application.

Maxxis or Michelin Wild Enduros. I use 2.4 Enduros coming from 2.3 high rollers. The Enduros just stick man, sideways.

maxxis ardent in 26" are decent if you find it in 3C it's a nice tire for trail enduro.

Aggressor has all the traction of a Dhr while rolling a touch faster. It's pretty shit in the wet though.

I rode a set of these from California to Panama. Would not recommend. The ride quality is decent but these things will find every fucking shard of wire scraps along the road. I got 3x as many flats as any of the folks I rode with.
