Tires Maxxis or WEST LAKE

Maxxis Tires

Assegai is my favorite front tire but it is a little slow rolling. If you don't mind that then there aren't many better front tires.

Pros: many better front tires
Cons: little slow rolling

I have ridden the DHF exclusively since getting my bike. I fell in love with the grip when cornering, literally feels like the bike is on rails. I have never lost the front tire in any conditions.

Pros: grip when cornering

WEST LAKE Tires

Tô usando westlake 175/75/13 no clio. Já rodei uns 30.000kms com eles e estou gostando. Adere bem, não canta fácil e até agora sobre o desgaste não me decepcionou.

Pros: adere bem, não canta
Cons: not Michelin grip
Mileage: 30000 km

WEST LAKE Tires

I've had 10yrs experience with the sa07 and I love them. On windy roads they can wear out fast but that just means they are a softer compound and offer more grip then a hardwearing linglong

Pros: offer more grip
Cons: wear out fast

I don’t have enough experience on Spesh tires other than the Sworks Fasttrack/Renegade I bought last year on a similar sale. They weigh in at around 620g each in the 2.35 size, which is much lighter than my Rekon Race 2.4WT at 780g. Feels nice to lose that much rotational weight and the grip I found to be similar. Also similar efficiency. What I didn’t like was the flimsy sidewall. There’s a reason they are so light. Lots of tire squirm and feeling of folding over in turns unless I ran high PSI (+5PSI compared to the Rekon Race). This is on a 30mm IW rim. Also, I had to use my tire plug for the first time on the front tire (Fasttrack). I’ve gone back to a slow XC setup of Rekon/Rekon Race this year but with a race or two coming up I’m debating what to do. I’m intrigued by the Aspen/Rekon Race combo but Aspen’s weigh about the same as my Rekon Race.

Pros: similar efficiency, nice grip
Cons: flimsy sidewall, tire squirm

They are definitely not twice as good. I was riding a Rekon/Ardent race combo and replaced them with Fast Track/ Renegade while those were on sale and I don’t feel like I’ve had any drop in performance.

Pros: no drop in performance
