Tires OEM Toyota or Maxxis

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

I run exo casing on my dhrii & haven’t had any punctures

I’ve run EXO tyres for years without any problems.

But its still a beefy maxxis tire. Im riding a dhr exo rear on my hardtail no insert and 18psi. Works great.

I run exo+ with no issues.

I run exo casing minions. No complaints.

Ridden both for XC racing and I have come to prefer the specialized tires over maxxis. I personally like to run ground control T5 upfront with fast track t5 in the rear as my base for my local trails and most race courses ( mid Atlantic area US) . If the course is hard pack and not super technical I’ll run fast track upfront with fast track or renegade in the rear. My I also found to get I got pinch flats more often on maxxis or side wall cuts through rock gardens. This is completely a personal preference but I’ve also felt more in control of the bike with specialized tires I mentioned

They run a bit narrow but I haven’t measured

Something XC like Maxxis ardent race or rekon race

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.
