I have fallen in love (lust) with Specialized tires. All the performance for 20-30% less cost. I put a Cannibal on the front of my DH bike and it has been outstanding.
I am in a love hate relationship with Continental right now. My favourite tire for my trail bike was the Der Baron, especially for wet/muddy conditions. They stopped making it with the new line up and also jacked up the prices to Maxxis levels. I somehow ended up with a version of Kryptotals that were made in China rather than Germany, and the casings are warped terribly.
