Can't beat these
I have been riding these tires for just over two years now. Definitely more confidence inspiring than maxxis dhf and dhr ii. It grips better and is more durable than maxxis. It rolls slightly worse but you can carry extra speed in the corners. Casing is also more durable than the exo +. I kept puncturing the exo + casing but have not once punctured the michelin tires where it is not repairable, front or rear. I ride these tires in dry loose trails of socal.
Hi Ky23, thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback.

Not for cold weather
Bought this tire to replace the Maxxis Rekons on my Scott Spark 950. I have another bike with Schwalbe Magic Mary at front and Hans Dampf at rear and they were great on snow and ice. With more aggressive tire profile, I thought the Wild Enduro would have better grip. I was mistaken big time! This tire doesn’t have any grip on cold, snowy and icy surface. I had to deflate the tire to around 15psi ( i’m 5’11”, 185lbs) in order for it to have at least some grip, and even with that pressure, I had to be really slow otherwise i would have slid all over the place. I had to walk my bike on descents as I would have definitely crashed going down. This tire might be good for tropical weather, but definitely not for the cold north.

Most Versatile Front Tire Ever
Covers moon dust to deep mud with competence and no problem areas where it doesn't work. While an Assegai w/Maxxgrip may beat it in the moon dust by a small amount, it weighs about 400g more. A dedicated mud-spike will also be better in the mud. But nothing beats the Wild Enduro as a tire that performs at the highest levels EVERYWHERE. IMO, this is the best tire ever made for the front end of a mt bike. Rolling resistance is great for what it is, but not great if you compare it to an xc race tire, so it get 3 stars there, but it does roll faster than many other DH type tires so it gets one star back. Hard to judge this one...

Excellent grip and low rolling resistance
Have been running the Wild Enduro Front Magi-X and Wild Enduro Rear GUM-X3D for almost 4 months now and they have been some of the best cornering and root gripping tires that I have owned. Hands down better than the Maxxis Minion DHF and DHR combo that I had on previously. Would buy these again.
