Tires Maxxis or WEST LAKE

Maxxis DTH come in 2.3! But I find the 2.1's to be bouncy enough - havent tried 2.3.

I have some Westlake SA07 for 10k miles now and they're holding up pretty good. Really good tires for the price.

I personally run Westlakes SA07’s and will swear by them until the day I die

Works pretty well for me. I run 2.3" Maxxis DHR II.

DHR II 2.4WT exists in double down and EXO casing at least in 27.5 -- I own both.

I have liked maxxis crossmark.

On my XC hardtail I have a Maxxis 2.4 Ardent on the front, and a Maxxis 2.2 Ikon on the rear. It is a great combo so far.

I just put some 2.25" Maxxis Ardent TR EXOs on my Trek 29er and they have been awesome so far. Tons of grip compared to the bontragers I had (cheaper ones that came with my bike).

Ardent rolls well but is lacking in traction. If you want to take corners fast, I would stay away from Ardent in the front - there is a dead zone between the middle and side knobs that will feel vague especially when cornering.

Westlakes are some of the worst tires you can buy. If you need cheap tires, stick to General, BFgoodrich, or Hankook. Don't buy shit tires, you're placing your life in the hands of a ultra cheap Chinese tire brand that makes tires that failed German tire safety tests.
