Tires Nokia or Maxxis

The compound in a decent snow tire like a Nokian, Michelin, Blizzak, etc… stays less form in cold weather and will stop better in the winter.

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.

Winter tires are best in class, their Hakkapeliitta 10 and R3/R5 line is the best in the world right now, their summer tires are very good, up there with the high-end brands maybe not as good as top-end Michelin or Continentals but still very good.

I use Nokian Hakkapelliita R3 winter tires in the winter (in Michigan) and they've worked great.

I previously tried Michelin CrossClimate2 tires, but they didn't provide quite enough snow traction. On packed, compacted snow, I could feel the car just barely sliding if I changed lanes, and I occasionally felt the ABS when braking. With the Nokian winter tires, I never feel either of those phenomena.

I had Nokian WRG2s on my Subaru and loved them. I run blizzaks on my truck now and find them to be better than the nokians were.

They are nice tires that roll really well. Mud and other soft ground can be an issue with the low tread and cornering can be a bit iffy with minuscule side knobs and rounded profile.

Nokian Entyres = :thumbup::thumbup: after 2 months and about 2000 miles. Nokian WRG2's = :thumbdown::thumbdown: after 20,000 miles

My maxxis tires usually last max 350miles in rear. My last dissector neede to be ditched after ~150-200 miles since knobs ripped apart.
