Help me with MTB tire selection

I’ve used the Mescals and the Maxis. My 2cents is that for the Mescals, they look cool but for slimy new England roots not enough. The barzo’s are much better as others have mentioned but they don’t come in tan sidewall (but the grey sidewall is pretty cool) The maxis surprised me with their toughness (have never flatted and they have not worn down despite 100’s of miles) I think the tread compound is not really that sticky but run them low and they are good to go, but as others have mentioned they are heavy. Don’t really like the ground controls, they felt slow and the tread packs up mud
