Hey mate, loved the review, for such a small channel (similar to mine xD) you expained things better than many bigger ones out there. Now to my question :) I've used Michelin DH22 and 34 combo, loved the grip but not the dragginess. Now I'm on Assegai and DHR2 combo, but they don't give me enough confidence on wet-ish slippery terrain, dry seems to be absolutely fine. So I'm contemplating what to do now, do I go for Conti Kryptotal rear and Kryptotal Front (enduro casing, softer on the front), or maybe for new Michelin WIld Enduro MS front and MH at the back, or even new Michelin DH22 and DH16 at the back. Have you tried any of Michelins and if so, how would you compare them to Contis? Same question to anyone readin comments, help bro out :D Thanks!
Hey mate, cheers for the reply. I haventtried any michelins yet, they're very high on my list but a few things have set me back. The tyres you've mentioned do have high amount of drag and weight so for my locals I haven't tried them. I was really looking forward to the MH, MS tyres and to run the new rear specific except they don't make or haven't imported 27.5 rears so I can't run them with my mulletwheelset. Extremely disappointed. As for the wet weather question it is a hard one, I don't think anything with grip we'll it rocky/roots wet stuff that isn't mechanically minded,such as the argotal. That is a tyre that's given me far more confidence than the assegai in the wet. You'd definately want something with mechanical grip over rubber traction, I havemt personnaly used the kryptotals in such conditions but I'd imagine they perform similarly to an assegai. I've used my argotal at cairns in wet weather through roots etc and thought it was brilliant so I'd imagine your michellin pairing would be similarly as good. It's all give and take, best bet is a wer specific front imo.
Hey man! You're a damn good rider on our trails haha Right now, I am riding with some maxxis DHR || on both front and rear (it's sadly all I had at the time haha) You reckon it would be worth the leap to continentals? Or just wear out what I have till I can't use them I occasionally have slip ups on sections I really just shouldn't haha
Cheers mate, but hey I've tried alot of tires and nothing is really worth a change without being completely wrong. The DHR is a great tyre and I'm currently on one. The conti's just have a much longer life and are a little faster. In hero dirt I feel the maxxis comes out in all out grip but on loose over hard it's a pretty even battle. Every brands main difference seems to be how the casing reacts and feels, I think you should just wait for it to wear out but sometimes a new set of socks feels as good as a holiday is you know what I mean.
eh, i thought the kryptotal F and the xenotal (rear) was a great set. then i tried the attack hpl and the trail boss. i think the latter eeks out a bit of speed, without losing any grip on hardpack and LoH.
@@S1ckb0t yeah tubeless, downhill casing is pretty thick and stiff so you can go pretty low. Full traction you can go down to 18-20psi, but I run 22psi front and 24psi rear now for abit more speed on my local trails.

@LifeofScottDenney ah nice! Well, I will think more about it haha 😄

I've actually got an Attack FSX, attack HPL combo to try next. Looking forward to it
Do you run them tubeless?
