So I decided to ditch the maxis refuse after a 2 months (don't get me wrong they're great tyres for commuting/training and are pretty good at puncture resistance and smooth skidding), the problem for me wasn't this but instead when the lifespan of rear gets to the limit/mesh layer the tyre itself began to fall apart in chunks and basically I got told off for riding with pieces of my tyres missing and had to miss the half of the track session on Saturday #ripmaxisrefuse
Inspired by attack&force, I decided to go back to gatorhardhell, (as they didn't have any durano plus at lmnh which was the next tyre I wanted to test) the attack and force has 22mm at the front and 24mm at the back, so for the gatorhardshell I went for the 23 at the front to keep it nippy and 28 for the rear for a more comfortable ride and I hopefully in theory more surface to skid/stop.
