So, this is an interesting rundown of good front tires:

Add Vee and Mazza to some things I'd like to try now.

casings yes, I don't know if I can notice the difference in maxxgrip or maxxtera though.

what are you looking for? What are you usually riding on hardpack and moon dust?

It aids in a bike leaning.
Also, for a back tire, in a lot of areas, it makes for an easier turn.

That all said, Kidwoo wrote a small dissertation on this topic a bunch of years back.

I love...

That looks like a great tweener tire.

Availability will be an issue again probably, but hopefully not. Last year I waited as long as I could for Conti to be back in stock anywhere in the us... I really wanted to try the fourth moon of...

Error 403.. does not compute.

Do you not mind your casing rolling laterally under you as you corner?

I really wanted to try the new kryptotal on the enduro/trail bike but didn't see the ones I wanted in stock anywhere. Ordered another assegai and dhrii combo for fall season.

I'm going to look for some of these new contis, they look to check a lot of boxes.

What tire question...

I need a more XC setup for a few rides I have on the horizon.
I normally ride a long trail/enduro bike with maxxgrip or maxxtera compound assegai front dhrii rear.

What...

If that works for your riding style... it'd drift a bit in the front and have some intermediary knobs in the back.

This.

I went from DHF to Assegai in the front after a bunch of years too (I did do a butcher front for a while.. which is about 98% the same) and I was hooking early as well. Then I wasn't. I...

I found the aggressor not as predictable in the driftability, which for me is important on the rear, as it's a part of my shitty riding style to rely on the back to transition out to the lean.

Now, for a back tire, I like a bit of drift, as I suck at riding bikes but like to go reasonably fast... so it helps the rear end come around for me.

Funny, I wouldn't call that vague.. but that drift that scares the crap out of you until you just lean your bike is real.

lol

Do you have some sort of alert set up for the word Kenda.

I put some max grip on the back for riding some rock slab last year and was blown away at the Velcro feel for that… then in swapping I ended up with that in the back and max terra in front and that...

You're going to make skaredshtles's happy in doing so.

I never LOVED the aggressor like so many others do... I like a little more drift to get through tight spots from the rear. The Aggressor doesn't do that. If you like putting your tire somewhere and...

Did you hear what Michelin did with their tire line!?

That's kinda how they work... That's how all soft tires give you more traction, part of that equation is leaving it on the trail.

This.

Also, how much you lean the bike and how you get your tail end around can help determine what pairing you are running.

Big channel on the back tire can help you swing the rear end of...

We'll be camping up at lower onion creek 21-24. I'll just be riding Moab Brand Trails with the kids as I'm not to the point rehab wise for any real rides. Should be great out there.

It has the same sipe (SP?) channel. looks pretty open too, how does it not drift similar to a dhf?

I'm pretty sure that tire matches up with the squirt camp a bit better.

That zone is definitely not 'dead'. It's actually what gives some people a complete adrenaline rush when the tire get's tipped and it drifts to lock in.

DHF let’s the front slide into position if you are leaning the bike. Same with any tire that has a proper channel (dhrii, etc).
Assegai doesn’t have as big of a channel, so more slicing and dicing,...

Or, welcome to MTBR.

I legit laughed at that ^^

Nice summation toast.
If you must deviate from the above, DHR II may be put on the front, if you like to get wild.
If you must go with a 'pro' tire, the dissector may...

I have a cheap generic of the silky bigboy, it'll too wobble bent up after this years Christmas tree excursion, but for 16.99 I got 4 ish years out of it. I think it's the bees knees for small stuff.

I'm not here to poke fun, but I got my assegai to seat up with a floor pump, sealant in..... with that fracture in my shoulder! :P

But... now, I've jinxed doing it the same way you do the last 10...

He jumps off the end of loggerhead to try to reach his porch.

I've never had issues getting up to speed with a 30 x 46. ymmv :p

Come over and ride some singletrack, you can grab my bike and test out assegai dhrii combo.

That articulates my thought when I opened the link..

Just through mine on the front. DD Maxxgripp. thing rips. I'm sure it's a slow roller, but I'm injured, out of shape and can't tell.

That's what happens whenever I try tires without sipes between the center and edge knobs. I do have an Assegai to mount up that I want to try, as I think I sometimes drift into the outside of the...

Don't worry, you're at 10 years, you'll gain it back in about an hour at your ani dinner.

And, I'm glad I wasn't on your rear wheel when that went down, although a few inappropriate jokes were...

I've ridden with Summit, I can vouch for the cases :p

This sounds corny, but the DH guys ride blown out shit all the time and that's what the tread is designed for. So, yeah, that endurbro tire should be the bees knees man.

My bike as built now is to pedal up and mob down. probably over 35 lb santa cruz megatower. A bike that I only liked until I finally got it up to speed.. then it came alive and I was like... oh.
...

That was where I found myself when I set it up this way.


I have plenty of time to waste looking for the tire I want now on the PT table.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.. both really new, may just try a assegai or another dhrii on the front as I think they may come in maxxgrip...

I just really like that exo+ casing up front and...

Quick question.
I have a maxxterra on the front and maxxgrip on the back dhf/dhrii combo. I'm out now (rotator cuff injury) as I've had my second fall of washing out the front end.. did I give up...

Sweet, I checked not that long ago and they were listed as coming soon. I've just put new rubber on but most of it is really soft, so, at the rate I'm riding this year I may need new by mid fall, so...

Has anyone seen the new vittorias for sale yet?

True, I had that setup at one point in time.... Will need to mind the brake points into some of the faster turns. Don't want to get all youtube roosty by accident.

I have a 35-40% worn dhf with a stickier compound dhr ii on the back. DHF was fine until the new tire got on the back, now it's the weak link... so, will pull it and replace it this week, but not...

I've seen some in 24".....

Still looking for more options.

Any recommendations on what mtb tire to buy for my 7 year old? she's on a 20" wheel. The tires on their are crap and she's starting to do a little trail riding. Also, where do I find 20" mtb tires?
...

Thanks... now I'm hungry
