Tires OEM Audi or Maxxis

Went from dhf/dhr II combo to kryptotal enduro soft fr/re and never coming back to maxxis

I really like the DHR as a front tire. I run it F/R sometimes. It has a slightly faster feel, good braking traction, enough bite to lay it over hard.

Excellent tire tread. But I recommend DD or DH casing instead of exo +, depending on the skill of trails you are planning to ride and how hard/advanced rider you are.

Exo is too light of a sidewall. On the front go minimum with the new exo+. Grip wise the Assegai or dhf front or good bit Assegai rear is draggy and makes a difference on the high speed jump lines. I’d go dhr2 rear in the dd casing with a liner.

I ran Exo for a year and ride on trails littered with basalt which is known to have very sharp edges, never had an issue with sidewall slicing.

EXO is plenty for XC and most trail riding IMO.

I run Exo casing and have had zero flats or issues. Had over 60 rides on the last pair. Would recommend

I had 2.6 on mine and hated them. Too draggy heavy and slow. Switched to 2.4 all round and it's much more responsive in corners. I'm running Maxxis Ardent exo. No good for wet sloppy stuff,but great for dry or gritty trails.

I'm on my second set of maxxis and they're good for intermediate to hard stuff. If it's slippery out and I need to do a steep hill climb using momentum it's almost impossible, but I've never experienced a better softer tire yet so can't compare to anything else.

I fitted a Maxxis 2.50 WT DHF to my i25 rims. It squirmed and rolled like nobody’s business and cornering was downright scary. I doubt things will be much better on an i28 rim.
