Vittoria Mazza and Maxxis Assegai are the two best tires I've ridden on loose over hardpack.
Whatever you choose, look for something with a minimal gap between the center and side knobs. Eliminating that gap as much as possible will create a more consistent feeling when pitching the bike into turns and across off-camber or flat sections.

Anyone ridden the Dissector recently? I ran one for summer 2022, and I had the same experience as most everyone- side lugs ripped off way to quickly. Half of them were gone or almost gone after only 100 miles.
I was thinking (hoping) that it was a first-run production issue since other Maxxis tires with similar side lugs don't have that issue. Can anyone update with ones purchased more recently? On paper, it looks like a fast-rolling enduro tire with good cornering grip (which it was for me) but wears out unreasonably quickly.
The dissector is fast but if you live somewhere with a lot of rock or off-camber the side knobs start shredding really quickly. Go Vittoria
Specialized Cannibal 2.4 is a really good option. Might be on the heavier side of things given that they only offer it in the full DH casing, but I think its one of the better tires I've ridden.
