Tires YOKOHAMA or Maxxis

I changed from Ko2 to Geolanders. It's been working great for me.

I just put Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ on, and so far they have been great. Not as expensive as Pilot Sport 4s, but definitely not cheap, either. I’m less than 1k miles in, but I like them a lot so far.

The only thing I’d add is I’d suggest them in Maxxspeed, but they are only available in 2.35. Rode them front/rear last season and they were excellent.

My 2023 OB has 22k miles on the Avid GT’s and they are wearing very well in my opinion. I may replace them with the same tire when it becomes necessary. Also, ten inches of snow is no problem with these tires.

I've been really impressed recently with the Conti tires (Cross Kings or Race Kings depending on how XC you want to go with it), specifically the ProTection versions with the Black Chili compound. Coming from Maxxis stuff I've been surprised by the amount of grip they have given how fast-rolling they are, at least for my local conditions (New England, so rocks, roots, more roots, a few roots, some roots, roots, rocks, roots, some more roots, a lot of roots, and roots.)

2.4 Rekon Race Front 2.4 Aspen ST. This is the fastest combo I have ever run. Same type of trails hard pack.

yokohama is better. i believe nankang is budget shit

Rekon Race is super fast if it has enough traction for you. If not, Rekon isn't a bad tire to try. Not as fast, but it won't give out when you push it too hard.

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.

I got the Yokohama Avid GTs which are by far the worst tire they make. My Outback couldn’t turn in the snow.
