I’m currently running Maxxis Minions and I want to switch up my tires to just try something new and I was recommended Schwalbe so looking around everyone seems to run their own combo of different tires from them, I’ve landed on this combo of tires and wanna know if anyone has tried it before or could recommend something different. I’m looking for something that grips well on hard pack down hills but still climbs decently well. Most of my riding is dry hard pack trail climbs and downhills with the occasional park day

I ride this combo in ultra soft radial casing on both my bikes and love it. Lots of grip with good braking traction, very predictable. Rolling resistance isn’t very good but I can still climb a lot with them. My experience is mostly loam, mud and loose conditions with the occasional hard pack. They’re do well enough on the latter.
I ride the MM Radial Gravity Pro Ultra Soft in the front and it’s the best front tire I‘ve ever had. Even in Hardpack the grip is awesome. On the rear I ride the Albert Radial but the Tacky Chan is also a good possibility.
However if you ride only on Hardpack I can recommend the Albert in the front. It’s like the Assegai but better.
