Tires Maxxis or WEST LAKE

I have Westlake SU318's on my Ranger now and they are cheap and fantastic. Great wet grip and very quiet.

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.

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.

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

I've used Westlakes before on my daily driver when I was just barely making ends meet. Had no issue with them, and I had to drive a lot for work.

I ran a set of west lake 205-50-16 tires on my 2001 celica. I probably put 30k miles on them before I sold it, and they still had about half the tread left. Ride was decently smooth and quiet. Ride quality and tire life were better than any of the other tires I used before (Nexen, Kumho, Yokohama, Toyo).

I've put westlakes on before. I am at Walmart. They seem pretty decent. Somewhat heavy, and durable. I see no problem with them. They aren't as gummy as, say, a Goodyear, but they seem decent.

The Westlakes are an Off Brand, they are cheap and you get what you pay for, but they are decent have sold lots of these with no issues.

Needing 4 new tires in my 2014 Honda Civic. Got quoted 400 mounted and balanced for a set of west lake tires.

The Ardent sucks by most accounts. Read this article from [NSMB.com](https://nsmb.com/articles/ask-uncle-dave-talking-tires-maxxis/) where the Maxxis rep basically says the only reason Ardent's are even made anymore is because people recognize the name. Rekon 2.4 is my vote (not a particularly wide 2.4, more like a 2.35). Some have mentioned the Ardent Race, but the Rekon has way better cornering traction than an ardent race, and bigger center knobs than an ardent race for braking traction.
