Tires Nexen or Maxxis

Last set of tires I bought were by Nexen.... pretty good tire, wore well.... got about 36k on them, will be due for new in the fall.

Get Roadstones which are made by Nexen. I use them on a remapped (300bhp) 3 litre diesel BMW and they are great in both the dry and the wet.

I had *Continental MaxContact 5* 2015 that lasted me 2016-2019. In 2020, I moved over to *Nexen N’fera AU7* (2019) on an extremely good deal. I’ll have you know, i’ve put down 90k highway kilometers on this rubber and it still drives great.

I've found 40 psi to be a good pressure and I've had the Kona nearly 5 years, original Nexens. Sharpens up the handling over the recommended pressure.

I run Maxxis Razr AT’s. Highly recommend. Live in Washington so I get all kinds of weather. They’re killer in snow and rain. Smooth ride and look great

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.

I've ran a lot of tire brands and always have the best performance from Maxxis.

Aggressor has all the traction of a Dhr while rolling a touch faster. It's pretty shit in the wet though.

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.

I purchased a new MTB with the Minion setup, and figured that since they’re so well renowned, I might as well give them a chance. After 250 miles, I’ve decided that I despise these tires more than anything else I’ve ever ridden. The DHF has NO CORNERING GRIP. I have washed out more times on this tire than I have in what feels like my entire riding career prior to using the DHF. I’ve pinch flatted two DHRs. One sidewall snake bite, one puncture straight through the middle of the tread. Lastly, they have god-awful climbing grip.
