Tires Maxxis or Shinko

Maxxis Tires

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.

Pros: great breaking, turning control
Cons: Not super smooth for XC

Maxxis Grifters. I’m 18 months in on them as a 1-2 time a week rider. No visible wear or pinch flats despite running low psi. They last forever and are grippy af.

Pros: grippy, long lasting
Cons: no cons

Shinko Tires

Shinko SR777 HD (reinforced) tires on my '04 FLHRSI as best bang for the buck given how ex$pen$ive the premium tires are these days. It helps to check the psi more often for longevity though.

Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: check psi more often

Shinko Tires

I run shinko 777 in the rear. It's cheap and I like them. The compound is a bit hard so you'll lose cold weather performance. But I ride in 45 degrees and above and haven't had issues with them.

Pros: cheap, user likes them
Cons: lose cold performance

I ran a maxxcross on both front and rear - rear first, before I upgraded to a 16" + shinko 525. Its not a bad tire at all, and if you're looking to keep the weight down on the stock rim then I say its a good choice.

Pros: good choice, keeps weight down
Cons: not a bad tire

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.

Pros: loved the speed
Cons: hated the grip

Drove my trd off-road for a week with them. Then it snowed and froze and i proceeded to slide almost into the curb on the other side of the road on the first turn out of my driveway going to work going in the morning.

Cons: slide almost into curb
Vehicle: Toyota
