Rating 4.0

I have them. I used to have a Michelin PS4S, which lasted about 24k miles before my front tires basically have no treads left (1.5/32 I think). Difference is stark, in terms of noise in highway. NS-25 is just so much quieter and I realized I can hear my podcasts without raising the volume to where it used to be. In terms or ride quality, I can definitely feel that it is ever so slightly more firmer than the PS4S, but I didn't actually check what tire pressure my tire shop put them on as, so it's subjective I suppose. road feel and grip, albeit I did not push them too much, isn't that bad.

Pros: quieter ride, good grip
Cons: slightly more firmer
Mileage: 24000 km

None of the above. Safety mo nakasalalay dyan. Always remember buy it nice or buy it twice. Go for reputable brands like Dunlop Michellin Pirelli or Maxxis.

Pros: reputable brands, safety
Cons: budget meal na gulong

Maxxis Tires

I’m 84 kg, use Maxxis tires with an 2.5 Assegai EXO+ tire up front and a 2.4 DHR II DoubleDown casing in the rear. I ride and race reasonably hard/fast. I’m using 22/23, but when I have an EXO+ casing out back I have to up that a couple psi to keep from denting my rim.

Pros: good grip, hard/fast riding
Cons: rim denting

The maxxis dth in the 2.3 has been my absolute favorite commuter tire for a long time. I still can't believe how light they are compared to other tires of this size. Tire tread is great for pavement and hard pack. Even had them out for some serious loaded touring and praised them.

Pros: light, great tire tread
Cons: sidewall protection

The Nankang NS20 wears well on track and has oK grip, but in the past I've found it to have a somewhat tricky balance around the limit. GReat for learning how to drive, but again it's not the best tyre in the wet so on the road it might not be ideal.

Pros: wears well on track
Cons: tricky balance, not best wet

I've had a good string of flats on my DTHs, but they're such a great tyre otherwise that I could never be mad at them. They're also so big and floppy they're a breeze to remove, unlike most "puncture resistant" tyres.

Pros: great tyre, easy remove
Cons: good string of flats

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.

Pros: better cornering traction
Cons: Ardent sucks

If you've got the OE supplied tires on ANY trailer, I'd make a VERY strong recommendation to swap them out for a reputable brand as soon as possible.

Pros: reputable brand
Cons: cheap junk tire
Mileage: 5000 km
