In the last year, between the 3 of us, at least 2, possibly 3 Maxxis and add the Wild Enduro that the casing separated when I was in Tassie.
Which tyres do you prefer and why

I ran the tyre with a wobble and separated casing for the last few days of the trip.
Was carrying 2 spare DHR II's with me, wasn't that concerned that it was worth swapping out.

Dog would probably be faster and he couldnt catch them. Wouldn't stop him trying though.

Feel the same. Used to go to Maxxis by default but the quality just isn't there anymore imo. Pity cus the DHF / DHR was such a good all round combo, Assegai was a laugh and the Dissector is way more versatile than I thought it would be.
@kten I'm curious about the Eliminator / Butcher - if I was looking at some for a mid-travel trail bike I'm assuming I'd be looking at Grip Trail in a T7? What's their performance like in damp / muddy conditions?

Feelin' a bit rrranty
I've got a 29x2.3 T7 Trail Butcher on the rear of the Saturn14 at the moment because it was all I could get at the top of Falls when I shredded an old Dissector on Big Fella. I fully expected to run it for a couple of days and replace it when I got home, but it's still on there ~5mo later. It's good. Very like a 2.3 DHF in many ways, but the sidewall is pretty stiff - couldn't get the Rimpact in when I was changing the tyre in the carpark with hands covered in sealant. I haven't ridden loads this winter but it's been good on the rear riding Red Hill, and good enough at Silvan/Macedon where nothing grips in winter anyway. I get the feeling the softer T9 rubber up front would give grip for days.
Great combo imo. For me I would run Butcher front and rear especially in damp conditions. The Butcher bites in with much added tenacity and feels more surefooted than the Eliminator. The advantage of this extra grip and confidence more than outweighs the slight reduction in rolling resistance.

Has a juicy midrange
Not recently. Before I had multiple wheelsets & had to seasonally change tyres, I found my theoretically not-tubeless foldie Crossmarks would twist & warp when hung up for the winter, and wouldn't straighten when put back on wheels. I've never had any tyres go wonky while fitted, even when stored for a long time.

Ive currently got a WTB Verdict and Judge on for Winter , very grippy in the wet
And have a WTB Vigilante and Trail Boss i will put back on in Summer ,
Not sure if they are much if any better than the Maxis Stuff, I cant tell a lot of difference if I was being honest , maybe i just like doing things a bit different
had some wild enduros on for a while that came with a nukeproof Mega as well . found them to be a great winter tyre combo , but felt a bit harsh rolling in summer in Aus

I'm a fan! Been on the Judge (front), Trail Boss (rear). My only gripe would be the Judge is about 200g too heavy, but otherwise great grip for my local You Yangs. Came from a DHR2 on the front.
Just put a vigilante 2.5 on in place of the judge, but have yet to ride it in anger

Vigilante is a great front tyre
Wrecked the 2.4” Dissector (rear) on my Optic, after the Vittoria conversation in this thread, replaced it with the 2.35” Martello it came with.
Definitely faster rolling, good under brakes & corners, a little slippier in the wet.
I’ll leave it on, DT Swiss XM wheel (29mm inner)

A slight wobble is standard on Maxxis, you will know the real Maxxis wobble when it happens
