Like a lot of people who land on the more aggressive side of trail bike riding, my go-to tire combo is a Maxxis Assegai up front and a DHR II out back. Do I believe these are the very best tires one can buy? Not necessarily, but they are damn good, are common on many bikes, and are likely the tire combo I have the most experience with.<\/p>\n

\u201cBest\u201d is relative.<\/p>\n
