- A couple months ago, we made a video about Chase's initial thoughts when he switched to the Michelin Wild Enduro mtb tires. We didn't expect these tires to get as much hype as they did! We decided to do a video with our long term conclusions! They are great!

Is there a better combo than this???
I just bought a vittoria Mazza for a front tire and a Vittoria Martello for the rear. I haven’t tried them yet and if I don’t like them I’m gonna try these out.
Continental der Baron projekt.
e thirteen MOPO tires
At in the front and SS in the rear!
@@tarikmoore849 I agree... I had der baron's on my intense carbine and went with wild enduros on my 2020 enduro... After about 1 month I switched the michelin to der barons. Although like the guys says the michelin are hands down better than maxxis but the barons grip on par of not a lil better and the black chilli compound rolls alot better than both magi-x and gumx.
I have been using Schwalbe Magic Mary 2.6 Addix Ultrasoft front and Magic Mary 2.35 Bike Park combo and love them. Sooooooo much grip
Still love mine. And yes, the DH22’s are on another level, grip-wise, which as you know is saying something. Now we just need to get Michelin to make the DH22 thread with Enduro casing 👌🏼 Nice vid boys!
We are pretty excited to try the 22’s. If they made them with a enduro casing that would be so sick! Stoked you liked the vid!
@@Blake_Cherubini they do make them in enduro casing. The "bike park" model has that casing. Dh34 is probably edgier. The rockr2 is still their best tire. Those same supportive edge knobs but the space between the knobs is tighter. Even more support/edgier
Y’all’s commentary at the end cracks me up. Thanks for the review, just snagged two of these tires.
Thanks dude! I think you’re going to like them! There really are some strange people out and about 😂
I've been wanting to try these for a while. My rear tire is finally donezo, so I'll prob pick up one of these bad boys! Solid review gents! Sub'd
Thanks dude 🤙🏻
Just came across your channel (maybe because i'm looking at new tyres) and really enjoyed watching you guys! keep it up - i've subscribed!
Appreciate it Bud! What tires are you looking at?
@@Blake_Cherubini Have been waiting for the DH 22's and 34's to become available in 29 in Aus. But just pulled the trigger on some Rock R2 enduro Tyres for the trail bike for now! will get the DH22's for the big rig when DH racing return. have been running schwalbe or maxxis for the last 10 years so keen to try something else!
Sticker ordered. Love the channel. Keep up the good work. I only have a small following, but I will be sure to give you guys a shout out when I put it on my VW. Peace!
Appreciate it a ton Bud🙏 excited to see where this channel goes!
Great video guys. I’m in the Cleveland area. Definitely gonna make it down there soon. I’ve had the Michelin combo for a few months and love ‘em.
Lol idk why but you guys make me laugh... Good video cant wait to see what this new bike is all about in your next vid! keep on rockin it buds!
Glad we can keep you entertained!!
I run a wild enduro up front and love it. Pretty fast rolling tire too! Great video guys, keep them coming!
Thanks bud!
Hopefully y'all get a sponsor soon verry convincing 😂
You guys never disappoint
Thank you😊
I just saw you have 2k subs now! Congrats👍
Thanks! 😃
Thanks for the advice guys
I was considering Assegai front 2.6 WT& 2.6 DHR rear 2.6 WT as well, but after riding Horns with my friend, Jeremiah and see how fast and confident he was, I'm definitely considering the Wild Enduro now. Great video 👍👍👍
Appreciate it as always bro! Let us know how you like them if you end up getting yourself some!
Just stumbled on your channel boys - good stuff! Love thes tyres btw
Thanks bud!
rad... gonna have to check these out for my next build!
You won’t be disappointed!
Thanks for content .
I purchased these for my Roscoe 8 hardtail about 7 months ago .
I paid $35 bucks for a 2.8.
they go so well with my roscoe as well.
nice vid! I love my my michelin wild enduro front and back for my specialized stumpjumper. It is because of you guys and loam ranger that I tried it and likewise I prefer them over maxxis. Lots of my friends who are riding maxxis that saw these tires right from the get go wanted to try it. by the way what kind of knee pads are those?
Good to hear!! They are the 100% surpass I believe
Uk riding - 24-7/365 it is EPIC! I live in the Forest of Dean and it is great that you get that feedback and grip from sloppy winter to loamy, dusty summers. They're now replacing my tried and tested Mary Front and Dampf rear on all of my fleet.
People have been telling us about the MM but I’m glad to know you like the Michelin’s better!
@@Blake_Cherubini The new addix compounds and side knobs wear away pretty fast on the dampf - you'll only get a year out of them. The marys grip well in British winters and sloppy tech, but are draggy as sin!
That’s what I have heard! Super grippy but you pay for that in rolling resistance
The tread patterns are so similar on the front/rear, I’ve seen a couple of people using two fronts and love the extra rear grip. At £70 for both in the UK that’s an absolute steal.
Rear faster rolling?
New sub from uk 🇬🇧... great vid guys
Thanks bud!! Glad to have you here🤙
Running these front and back- way better than anything else I’ve used.
Agreed!
You got me interested. I love my assegai/aggressor combo. Were you running maxxgrip or maxxterra?
I had the softest one in front and a little harder out back
Nice guys!
I got the Ewilds on my carbon ethirteen trs wheels.
I love that Sequoia !
Thanks! Might have to do a vid on out rigs here soon!
"case-adilla" im gonna use that, thanks!
Same
I fondly remember my first descent on the Wild Rock'R2 tires. Don't they make a harder compound for the rear? The whole Magi/Gum nomenclature is confusing.
I bought my first pair of Michelin tires thanks to the first impression video you guys made. Really happy with the tires, however, I noticed that after 60 miles of riding (aggressive riding 70% of the time) the rear tire looks very wore, some knobs are about to fall apart 😕. I'm even considering putting another michelin Enduro Front in the rear. What do you guys think of that setting? Front and front? 🤔
Our rear tires also started chunking a bit on the side knobs and in the middle a little also. I feel like that’s just something that happens with any tire when riding aggressively. Although, we noticed Maxxis wore way faster. We’ve never tried front and front. My guess is that it would be slower rolling due to the wider spaced knobs. Not sure how that would affect wear
Yaaay! I got the stickers today, thanks!! Hey just an idea , next time maybe add your youtube channel address on the sticker? That way when folks see this sticker they’ll be able to look you up. I’m gonna stick these somewhere on a pole or gate near my trails. Cool! 😎
Thanks for supporting us!! We have actually talked about doing that just haven’t got around to it yet!
I tried some Conti’s and loved them, but I’ve been interested in trying Michelin.
As far as the park sitters, they are all over here in NYC they rollup and park. Some rollup and... rollup.
Just bought the enduro for 49.99 on that other website that starts with a j! Love them!
Oh man, heard the ones from our link are a bit faster! Enjoy those tires Bud!!🤙
I had Michelin E Wild's on an Ebike I sold and they were really good everywhere and had over 300 miles on them and they were holding up. I wish they made the E Wild in the 29er size for Ebikes
Ron Shuler ?? They do!
What pressure did you find is the sweet spot for the front and rear?
I switched from minnions to the new generation e*thirteen tires with the mopo compound. The rubber feels way firmer to the finger feel but it's bites way harder than the minnions.
We might have to give those a try sometime!
Your video helped me to make a dicision to get michelins instead of maxxis on my enduro.
How do you like them??
I don't blame you because they made me too! =)
Thanks guys,you made easier decision was thinking for baron/kaiser setup or michelins, going for michelins
Great choice!
I tried the wild enduro combo this spring for a change (usually on maxxis) and had pretty mixed results. Tires ride really well on soft dirt but don’t like loose over hardpack. Less predictable in most conditions compared to DHF/DHR. Also managed to rip half the knobs off the rear tire in the first month before tearing the bead off the casing doing a cuttie. Cool to see a different perspective though!
They seem to not like a lot of rock, which makes them subpar in places like Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, etc. similar problem to the Specialized Butcher, it's known for shedding cornering knobs on rocky trails (based on both reviews and seeing it for myself). I did a park day at Trestle with a couple friends monday and my Maxxis were still perfectly intact, with just a little more visible wear after the whole day, one of my friends had a fairly new Butcher on the front of his bike and had shed multiple cornering knobs by the end of the day.
Considering they are not a rock tire I’m not surprised you had these issues, they are for dirt mud and “hard terrain” not rocks
You aren't saying anything about climbing grip, are they any good?
I've installed these recently here is what I've to say so far:
I have 23mm rims Cush Core Pro, I installed 2.4 Michelin wild enduro front and rear there is something about the tyre that makes the front utrn over when track standing and doing slow turns, I've only tested it indoors not taken it for a ride yet. Mabye it's the stiff cornering knobs, thread pattern too mabye, mabye cus it's 2.4 too. I ran Maxxis MaxxTerra c3 Exo Shorty, High roller 2 depending on conditions. But the Wild Enduro front felt better more predictable, smoother turning, front end felt less floppy. I have a Geometron G1 about 62 deg head angle, use 33mm stem, so direct and great steering and stable bike, but this front tyre seems like it will improve things alot. But I don't know why for sure yet. But I see the roundness is good, the all looks good on 23mm rims. I've tested this with both rear tyre inflated to 26 psi and tyre flat, no air, it still felt good on the front, I had 24 psi in the front i did not test with full kit on yet I am 72kg naked, so I might be few hundred grams heavier with clotching and foot wear, but 86kg last time I weihd in fully kitted but now I have a neck brace too, so probably 87 kg now, I will test fully kitted as soon as I am well enough to ride.
So I suspect it's might be the side knobs.
Are you guys gonna try any Michelin tires from their DH line?
We would like to!
These are the best I just got them for Christmas
Glad you like them too!
Did you run into the issue with the front magix2 weeping sealant like crazy? Loveine but they wore after 2.5 months of hard covid riding. Trying out the new vittotria mazza and aggaro and honestly like them more the the Michelin. Maybe check those tires out next?!
We didn’t have any problems with sealant leaking! I would like to try another set of tires just to see how they compare! - Chase
They can do that fir first few rides usually means you need to add a bit more sealent 👍🏻
Which compound are u using?
What’s with the raceline enduro tyres ? U know the difference between wild enduro and raceline?
Different compound and thicker casing
Where did you guys buy these online? I don't know where to buy them, my LBS only carries maxxis.
worldwide cyclery!
I’m torn on what to replace my DHF/DHR with. These are big contenders now but was also considering Assegai F/R or Kenda Pinners or Hellkats. Ugh decisions!
You already know our vote is Michelin!
Unless it’s a DH, don’t do Assegai F/R. I have them and love them on my DH, but I’d hate to pedal them up a hill
Jacob C these would be on my DH
I’m a big fan of schwalbe tires over maxxis but when I wear these out I’ll be sure to give Michelin a chance. Y’all and some others have absolutely praised them that I think I’d be wrong to not Atleast try them! Also gonna pick up a sticker I’m all about trying to support a up and coming mtb youtubers when they have good content
We have never tried schwalbe but you should absolutely give the Michelins a shot and let us know what you think about them!
What size do you run? 2.4? I just installed the 2.4 and they are quite a bit more narrow than the assegai and the dhf
How did you like it after all this time? Still on the 2.4? Or back to 2.6?
I rode the Wild Enduro on my Capra and freaking loved them, just drop some on my Wreckoning as well. Paired with Cushcore, they are a beast! As for their DH tire, I rode 150km on the DH34 and they plain and simple sucks, it is not thaaaat bad of a rear tire but very draggy...but as a front tire? It scared the shit out of me, it was impossible to know when you would lose the front and I crashed a couples times before of them, the compound is much stiffer compared to the Wild one so less grip...and they roll really slow.. So trying a dual DH34 combo isn't even close to a dual DHR2 combo and nobody will win WC with them :p Wanted to put some time on the DH22 but they won't ship until mid September in Canada so fuck this shit, keeping the Wild :p
Glad to hear you’re stoked on the Wilds! We’d love to test the DH tires to see what we think
No one will win with them? Apart from Sam Hill using Dh22/34 to win 2 EWS overalls lol
@@solcoburn8418 Sam Hill could win even without any tire. Still, I love the fact that even he said during his last bike check that he a wheelset with Wild Enduro on it when he want something less draggy :p
What bike rack is that, that you’re running on the Sequoia?
Chase custom made it!
I'm on my second set and now that it's drier than winter, they seem to be getting torn up quicker. 3 park days and a few trail rides and the rear is clapped out already. The side knobs are under cut and partially torn off and the center blocks are pretty well worn. The front tire (after a month) is starting to show signs of the shoulder knobs tearing off down to the carcass. My last set did the same thing up front with the magi-x compound. Right down to the carcass. Love the performance, not 100% sold on durability. May have to try the DH22 though!!!
We have the experience! Absolutely love the grip but the side knobs are getting torn up pretty quick!
@@Blake_Cherubini can't have everything I guess. Honestly though, where price, performance, weight, rolling resistance and durability are all concerned, these tires are very hard to beat 🤙
We agree! Hard to beat these tires!
Are they both the gum x compound or is it a combo with the front being magi x?
Front is magi!
Send 'er Buds sweeeet. Thanks. Chain reaction has the gum and magi combo on offer so guna order a set 🤙🏼
How much do they weigh?
Cool May I know the music please?
Maybe a
Wild Enduro front
Rock'r 2 rear
Theoretically I think this would be similar like a DHF/Aggy but the Rock'r 2 being a bit beefier with the knobs.
Probably even harder to find is the Rock'r 2 tires.
Do they ride harsher than Maxxis?
Been running maxxis for years n just bought two. Im hoping Ive not made a bad choice as I tend to ride rocky dh stuff up in the peak district.
How are you liking them?
Great vid guys.
Blessings from israel.
Thank you! 🙏
yeah! 🤙
Which ones do you run gum x or magi x
Magi up front and gum in the rear
My Michelin back tire lasted for 5 riding days... but the front is mint! 😍
Damn dude you either shred hard or ride some sharp rocky terrain!
@@Blake_Cherubini well... both 😅 but aggressor still last much longer, wich i've swapped back to.
😂 well we don’t have much sharp rock here so ours last much longer! Go to know that they don’t like rocks!
The cracks are probably just long term hard braking, and endos, and tyre skipping if you do too many mistakes with locking up the tyres, but looking at how you ride that one is unlikely, it's probably just you braking hard and putting big load on the knobs, and such, as it only happen on centre knobs.
With Maxxis c3 exo MaxxTerra tyres, both Shorty and High Roller 2, I've had it on all knobs but then the knobs were quite rounded and bead were close to worn out
What they like on hard pack gravel men?
We ride a bunch of loose over hard conditions and we really like them!
Have michelin on my dirt jumper like 6 months
I switched from maxxis to michelins and noticed that the rear end broke away under braking waaayy more. I actually am not fond of this.
Did you just run 2.4 size. Have you run 2.6 2.8 at all .
Just 2.4!
I use Michelin front tire I love em.
What’s your favorite thing about them?
Send 'er Buds I used mine in dh race and I got 3 from them for free and they grip nice. I used maxxis as well and I still go back for the Michelin front tire. Just like em cause they seem to grip on corners better like a regular run of the mill tire. Like the old days where you did not even care what tire you had. But after a couple races. You will find out. I have intense dh bikes. I even used intense tires. Not a big fan but they work. I’m gonna be getting more Michelin soon. I have a need for them for my other bikes.
Awesome! I need to try putting the front tire in the rear and see how that goes!
Send 'er Buds I use the Michelin in front and maxxis minion in rear. Seems to be for me the right combo.
@@Wannaridebikes Interesting combo! What minion do you use in the rear DHR or DHF
the cracks in the center knobs is probably just from hard braking
That’s kinda what we were thinking but didn’t know for sure!
These tires are awesome im on 3 Mos and just got back from a 2 week mtb trip with them. Never riding maxxis again.
Yewww!!
Have you senders tried the down hill tires🤔
Not yet!
@@Blake_Cherubini they look good, just ordered a pair for my bike
Let us know how you like them! I would like to get my hands on the DH22s
I'm running Wild Enduro up front and DH34 out back, runs mint. Will go to DH22 on the front once I rip a few more side knobs off the front
@@BensMis-adventures nice inhad just gotten both pairs the 22 and the 34 imma ride both as a pair and switch them around, see why I end up liking best.
Once I wear out my maxxis I’ll have to make the switch. And goggles saved my eyes in a recent crash.
Nice man! Yea I had a crash and had a beach scratch the crap out of the Lens right in front of my eyes. Would have been bad without them!
I have the same bike as y'all. I put the wild enduro on mine they are clapped out after a month of riding. Didn't last for shit. Check out WTB they make sick tires that last way longer.
Park laps or what? They are soft so they won’t last as long but they offer more grip for sure!
Yeah I got 60000 feet of descending at Angel fire on them in 3 days lol it trashed them. They rode great while they lasted.
Maybe they are better suited to the dirt around us? Isn’t it super rocky out there?
@@tweaker_on_a_bike9809 Sorry to say it, but the nobs on WTB tires fall off all the time, you see photos of it every where......
I noticed these tires are a bit narrower than the Maxxis.
Hopefully you don't have stalkers in those cars. Or is it a smuggling operation? 😁
In Europe you can get it for 47e (53$) :)
Wish they were still that price here lol
So i got for my self, for my wife, and extra fron and rear :D
@@Blake_Cherubini in the Netherlands I can get them for €42
UK they are £35
I bought a pair of these and realized that I have both REAR... I'm gonna put them anyway 😬
Aside from better tire performance, Michelin’s look rad and very unique. Unlike the overrated Maxxis’
Agreed!
Ran the Michelin combo for a season. Front tire is trash, constant folding at race speed. The rear tire is by the best hands down. Switched backed to Maxxis.
We have never had the front tire roll,weird
u guys sold me to buy this...if i dont like it...ill held you guys accountable...LOL
So how did you like it lol I just bought a set
Had a wild enduro on the front. Was great in damp conditions (though most tyres are) and was good on loose rock but terrible on hard pack. Those side knobs are too far apart for any terrain that doesn’t deform. Back to Maxxis, soo much more versatility and better side walls.
Assegai allllll the Way
No wayyyy
Gum-x vs magi-x?
Gum-x is supposed to be a little bit of a harder compound than the Magi-x so we run Gum-x in the rear and Magi-x in the front and have really liked it!
@@Blake_Cherubini all the written reviews says otherwise....Magi-x is supposed to be the harder compound, but provides better grip than Gum-X once you hit a certain speed. Physically between the 2 compounds, which one feels softer? Also would you run FRONT versions for rear for more grip?
You’re right! Chase must have gotten them mixed up or something when he replied the first time lol
Wild enduro rear loses traction too easily during climbing and braking. Corning and durability were great.
I like them a little loose! Haha - Chase
Jeez those look brand new ! Why would you want to waste money putting on new tyres when the ones you have taken off are pretty much new .
Cause I like new tires bro! Don’t you like new tires?
Can't find these tires anywhere for 29 front. Pretty useless of Michelin.
I’m sure it’s not a Michelin problem and instead a supply & demand problem. Same case for SRAM, Shimano, Fox, and almost every other brand in the industry...
@@Blake_Cherubini I think Michelin didn't expect the demand and didn't make enough tires. Michelin now has a new line now the DH series. Also Michelin is not a well known brand for MTB here in US.
Don’t worry ... I am 1 x more sub after this vid
Sick bud! We appreciate you!
Dude those whips were so fat
how them knees doing? Old and Dusty?
Sounds like their bike tires dry rot / crack just like their car tires ..... it's a Michelin thing
Well Blake’s maxxis did it too so not just a Michelin thing... 🧐
@@Blake_Cherubini your tyre is drying out and shrinking. That’s why you have cracks around the knobs. Can ether be from the temperature, being left out in the sun or certain soils and dirt can’t draw the moisture out of the tyre.
Yall need to change your name back to Send'r Buds
Why
@@Blake_Cherubini because it was way more awesome
Er. Maxxis are antiques.
You guys are fuckin weird I like you
😂 I love it!
They were never better that maxxis
for me it's all about predictability and ability to grip on wide variety of ground. This is where maxxis outperforms the competition.Stiff side knobs are nice , but not when it comes to off chamber roots or rocks.
Too bad they’re out of stock everywhere
Available on Amazon
@@HtownRO maybe now, they weren’t 2 years ago
Magic Mary blow all these tires out of the water. At least for the steep technical gnar of Squamish and whistler
Have you tried them?
Send 'er Buds no to dangerous for my type of riding budz
How do you know? We will try them for you out there! Then I would like to try the magic mary for sure
Send 'er Buds lets sender buds!!!
