Wears well
Versatile
Reasonably priced
Packs up in sticky mud
The DHF has been my go-to front tire on my trail bike (2.35 single ply) and I've used it extensively as both front/rear on my DH bike (2.5 3C). To me the most important part of a tire is predictability--and that predictability is why I keep running the DHF year after year. It may be that there are tires more suited to a particular condition, that are lighter or roll better. However, I don't change tires based on conditions except to switch to spikes when things are really muddy. For me, the DHF works well enough in any condition, although I'd say its at its best in mixed loose over hardpack (what I ride most). It isn't the greatest in thick sticky mud as it's not as open as some designs and will pack up, but even here I know what it's going to do and can make it work. As a rear tire I find it drifts (you guessed it) predictably. I usually run 25-30 PSI for DH and I can't remember the last time I got a flat. Bottom line, it's a super solid tire that is good to great at nearly everything. Well worth checking out if, by some crazy chance, you haven't yet.
very good tire but on the expensive side

This is truly the gold standard of tires, There are multiple on the market now that have a similar tread pattern for a reason, it works! These tires, regardless of the carcus, width, or on front or rear are stellar. From my experience they are predictable even when leaning to the side knobs. Some other tires get vague in this area, but these do not with the open area between the center and outer knobs. Their wear is on par as to other tires and to what I would expect. Maxxis tires do seem to run a bit narrow in width in comparison to their spec is the only negative thing I can think of. Work great on hard pack, loose over hard pack, and even in wet conditions that are not too muddy.

weight
The DHF are definitely a go to tire. They are widely available and frequently on sale. Cornering is top notch and they definitely have that playful drift zone a lot of people talk about. What they lack in grip on the muddiest days, they make up for pretty much everywhere else. They definitely excel as a bike park tire or versatile race tire.
One problem I always have is cornering knobs falling off. On several of my tires after a month or two, a large amount of the knobs are ripped off or close to it, even when most of the braking knobs are almost entirely intact. Still they are longer lasting than alot of the super soft competition. The weight is also slightly heavier than some of the competition, but it makes up for it with compound durability.

Overall if you are looking for a tire that can really handle aggressive riding, provide reliability, and last you for a good amount of time; then this is it.

These should be the default tire for anyone into any serious riding, especially on the front. On the rear you could go for a faster rolling tire if the conditions are dry, but you can't go wrong with it front and rear. You may find an equally good tire aggressive trail/DH tire, but it's probably is a copy of this tread.

Specifications
3C MaxxTerra
An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip.
3C MaxxGrip
Ues the softest rubber compounds to offer the ultimate in grip and slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications.
Super Tacky (ST)
A special low-rebound, high-traction compound used in select tires.
Dual Compound
Two compounds used within the tread to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip.
Single Compound available
EXO
A cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected.
EXO+ Casing (pre-2022)
120 TPI; combines SilkShield and EXO protection materials for improved tread puncture protection. The SilkShield layer runs from bead-to-bead with a layer of EXO along the sidewalls.
EXO+ Casing (2022 update)
60 TPI; with butyl insert around the bead, for more protection and support (50% more puncture resistant and up to 20% less prone to snakebites compared to the previous generation).
DoubleDown (DD)
The next step in the evolution of the dual-ply tire casing for enduro racing. Two 120 TPI casing layers reinforced with a butyl insert provide the support and protection of a downhill tire, but in a lighter package.
Downhill (DH)
Two layers of 60 TPI casing material are used from bead to bead, providing additional protection and sidewall stiffness for downhill applications.
Directional ramped knob design, designed for the often loose and muddy conditions of aggressive all-mountain terrain
Wide Trail (WT) options are designed to optimize the tire’s tread layout for a 35mm inner rim width and are proven to work over a 30-35mm range, depending on the rider’s preference.
