Profile and rubber compound: what is important?

When buying enduro tires, the tread is crucial. Look for pronounced lugs for off-road grip and good self-cleaning. Depending on the surface, whether mud, sand or rock, you should choose the profile. The rubber compound also influences performance. Soft compounds offer more grip but wear faster. Harder compounds are more durable but may provide less traction on slippery surfaces. So think carefully about what type of terrain you'll mostly ride on to find the right balance between grip and durability.
