Im not averse to trying something else, but they have to be better. Any suggestions? Must be:

Front and rear specific
Resilient to enduro/AM riding
Not too heavy
Readily available
Decent durability:grip ratio
Not dry rot or lose its corner knobs when the rest of the tread and casing is still good
Not too expensive

Know of other people that have tried other brands and eventually end up back on Maxxis for various reasons.

What is too heavy?

1200g....?

And why front and rear specific?

WTB: Some rotted out tyres, and any others which have torn side knobs but with good centre knobs.

You're after the maxxxshit straightlines @teK-- unbeatable tyre unless you want to turn.

 

[beeb]

Nope. We need moar grip than the pros, to make up for the the lack of skill

But less rolling resistance!

I’ve got half worn HR2 with a sidewall tear I sewed up?

Trying to remember, did someone say these are Temu Maxxis tyres?

Or was that another brand?

Everything that is not maxxis is the temu version of maxxis.
And like temu, under the mountain of shit you buy at dirt cheap prices there is usually one or two keepers.
And at $30 I’m happy to roll the dice on a pair of winter tyres (until I absolutely eat shit on sum dicey rock and go back to paying $120 for the equivalent fucking maxxis )

You can borrow my set that where I may have done the same can't help myself buying process.

Minor NBD starting at the bars and stem.

I don't have a bike that warrants them nor does anyone else in my house or riding group. And yet I still put a carbon one in the cart before it occurred to me that there might be a problem.
