For consistently dry conditions the stock tyres aren't a bad choice and wear reasonably well. After that MIATA (Minion Is Always The Answer)!
I also use this combo through the dry months. It's predominantly loose over hard and hard here. The dhf on the rear is a surprisingly good climber and despite people saying it's a slow roller, I think it rolls pretty good. I have to commit to pushing the bike down into corners though - another reason I like the dhf, it makes you commit to steering properly. DHF and DHRII also have good volume for those hard edged rocks. You might also want to consider a tannus in the rear with just the standard evo casing (the lightest), evo plus in the front tubeless.
Just looked at it; same channels but slightly more tranisition coverage and looks better at not holding mud. Nice.
Probably 70% of my km is tarmac as my bike is a daily commuter. Both the DHF and Mazza cope equally well. If I'm running DHF it's a Maxx Terra, the Mazza 4C seems equivalent.
there are quite a few: Search results for query: tyresGuys, there is a discussion of tires in this chain. Let's keep it there, thanks
Alain. Interesting question..... I'm riding in the Sonoran desert also. North of you a bit. In Tucson. Yeah rocky plus more rocks and then some more rocks and then a sandy wash. Currently running the stock Specialized rubber that came on my new Levo. Thinking the replacement will be something a little bit wider...... these look skinny compared to the tires on my fat bike.
I can't really answer that as most of our trails don't get that muddy. The MTB club tend to gravel the high use trails and I personally don't go out of my way to ride in muddy conditions as there are other options if it's wet and crappy-like today...
