Tires SUMITOMO or Maxxis

Maxxis Tires

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.

Pros: good for descents
Cons: slow on 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.

Pros: good choice
Cons: not great wet grip

Something like a maxxis ikon should roll great on the road and still work on trails.

Pros: roll great on road
Cons: null

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.

Pros: roll really well
Cons: iffy cornering, soft ground

If you liked the XR4 the Rekon is probably the closest, or Ardent. It's worked well for me everywhere I've taken it from Duluth to Moab, and everything in between.

Pros: worked well everywhere
Cons: slow rolling

The Assegai has the best climbing traction I've ever had (used to run DHRIIs, which would be a good option as well).

Pros: best climbing traction

After some time, I’ve discovered the Dissector is particularly sensitive to tire pressure. After I dropped the pressure a couple of psi (I’m running the 2.4WT version on a 35mm inner width 29” rim, and have settled on 24-25psi), the Dissector is running great.

Pros: running great
Cons: sensitive to tire pressure

I daily drive with the Sumitomos they are alright in the dry but I do find they aren't as good in the wet. They do feel pretty predictable when driving hard and the tire wear isn't too bad.

Pros: predictable when driving hard
Cons: not good in wet

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
