Tires SUMITOMO or Maxxis

Maxxis rambler is a better all rounder while being a similar tire (for sure faster on pavement) ...I also loved pirelli cinturato gravel h on both pavement and dirt

The thing i like about gravel bike is pwede po salpakan ng road WS, or kalbong gravel tires like maxxis refuse na 40mm.

Maxxis Crossmark II Exos to replace my stock WTB Nineline Comps. Noticed the different almost immediately.

I just got some Sumitomos replaced with about 40,000 mi on them which probably still had 20 to go and were still gripping great but just a little bit noisy. They are the parents company of Falken. They are a great brand as far as longevity and grip. I'm currently using Laufenn which are a sub brand of Hankook which cost me under $90 a corner and I am so pleased that I'm considering putting them on my second car. This mid-tier brand has been just as if not more pleasant in the realm of noise and on center road feel at speed than Michelin Defenders I had just a month ago on a car we sold. My Laufenns will probably have only half of the tread life of the Michelins I used to have, but at only half the price and the feel on the road is identical but I'm sure the performance is a little bit less. We do have close to bottom tier on a car that is new to us which is a Douglas brand and it'll be good for the next year but it is an unpleasant tire. It's loud and doesn't feel like it tracks well. But it does grip well enough to push the replacement date out a year since they were manufactured this year.

Aš pirkau Maxxis, pigiausios buvo tarp geriausiai įvertintų.

well... most durable would be some DH tire,

just with "fast" tread, like **Maxxis** Dissector DH ?

Well, the Rekon races came highly regarded but my second day on one I flatted (rear tire). Maxxis claims it was a pinch flat. OK, maybe but it should have held up.

The aggressor is faster on hard pack but awful on mud. Dissector makes a better rear tire I think, it’s similar to the dhr but a little faster. Unless they’ve changed the tire, the cornering knobs tend to get shredded quickly.

Sumitomo HTR A/S P01. I tried them on two different vehicles and they were downright dangerous in the wet and snow, even when brand new.

I know this thread is almost a year old...But it was one of the first things to pop up in Google.   I bought a Challenger with the Sumitomo all seasons. 245/45r20. They were terrible tires. I figured I try to get 2 years out of them and it didnt happen. They were manufactured in March 2023.  Lasted 12,000 miles before one of them separated from the side wall in November 2024. I got a set of new tires at discount tire and they showed me that 2 of the other tires were starting exactly the same thing. Separating the tread from the side walls. All on the inside so I couldnt see it.  The car shook over 75mph...They wouldnt hold air pressure...They were downright dangerous in winter conditions. They were very noisy and wouldnt grip even on a hot road surface.
