i try every single tyre on the market and i end with a continental der kaiser protection 2.4 and i remove 180g of treads, this tyre resist like a continental danny mac i think. it has strong sidewalls and with tubeless you have a bomb proof tyre. The only problem it made my bike way less street oriented because my front tyre it’s still a maxxis and the bike feel less well balanced. But after cut maxxis ikon tan wall and black wall, continental with shield wall and kenda tyres i don’t see another valid alternative.
