I disagree that all Kenda tires suck but anyway. I personally ride minion 2.5 front and 2.35 high roller rear. In wet conditions maxxis swampthing 2.35 and in really bad conditions Michelin Mud 2.8 fornt and 2.2 rear.

Dmr MotoDiggers! Really good all round tyre! I used to have richardson bulldogs. Good grip you could hear them tear into the mud when cornering.

sorry mate but moto diggers are not fr/dh tires. they are dj or trail tires.

Syncros BHT's are my favorite, but I've also done well with the WTB Timberwolf.

i almost swear by maxxis tyres! i bought a sc v10 in may and was running wtb 2.4 moto raptors which are pretty good for grip on the back but arent quite wide enough for the front and i managed t get hold of a maxxis high roller 2.5 super tacky at the fort william world champs..one of the best tyres i have ever had and would never got for anything else..on the front!

use minion front on the front and rear (just like sam hill) they grip well good especially in super tacky, a lil slow on rolling though.

i highly disagree that kendas suck. i have nevegals on my bullit and small block eights on my VT and they both work amazing. ive tryed hutchinson and they were crap. havent run any maxxis but im sure they're good. the tiogas i had lost nobs before they wore out but worked ok. and i used to use a michellen but it didnt shed dirt at, everything just got stuck in the nobs. kenda nevegals are the best ive had to date.
