Michelin DH22
Best high performance tire for aggressive downhill mountain bikers seeking maximum grip.
This is the ultimate set-and-forget rubber for riders who don't want to swap tires between trail days. While the aggressive, heavy-duty casing adds noticeable weight on the climbs, the trade-off is unmatched bite and confidence when the terrain turns loose, muddy, or unpredictable on the way down.
