Nick Garland Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hi I am going to buy some maxxis tyres but have never used them before. I want them to last 4 months minimum as I cant afford to shell out on new tyres every 2 months or so, thus my poll. I am currently running Koxx tyres and find the wear rate/grip is very good. To get to my riding spot I ride about 3 miles there and 3 Miles back and usuall go there 3 times a week. They have to be able to manage this and last 4 months or so, which would be best? I was thinking of getting 60a as its the hardest compound as I thought 42a would wear too quick, does anyone have these tryes and have to ride the same distance as me? Any help would be appreciated.

Fishwog Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Super Tacky (Y) I always have to ride quite a way to get to each riding spot, and I have a Slow reezay, and after about 2 months of riding it, it has barely worn at all, and I normally run around 35PSI when getting to places, then put them to around 20PSI when riding....

Matt_Tupman Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Humm I voted Maxxis Pro (60a) as I feel that they are actualy not that hard No there not as soft as the super tacky or slow rezzy but they are still great tyres and will last longer than the other two.

fairy elephants Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Do you ride street or natural? If you ride street, i would say 60a, if you ride natural, then a 42a would be better (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I ride 40a and have to ride about a mile ot two, and they still havent worn terribly over 2 months, just when they do wear its not a layer its a small chunk of the grip, but it makes no difference to the performance, great tyres, grip absolutly anything (Y) Tom P.S i run about 23-25 psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aust Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 to get the best grip out of super tacky's you will need to change em about every three weeks maybe less (tis what i do) just go with the 60a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzamad Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 super tacky (42a) gets my vote, ive had my high roller on the rear for about 6 monthes, and it now needs replacing, so its worn great, and i usually have to ride on average bout 4 miles to where i ride most of the time, so its been great, just one thing, if you want them to last dont do skids (purposefully) on tarmac etc because that just rips the tread off of them. so IMO get super tacky just dont do skids.

If its the second option, i wouldnt complain to a couple being sent my way after you have used them (Y)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aust Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 when the edges of the tyre go round they are useless.. i ride more 5/7 aswell (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 i'd say supertackys, i have one on the rear and a slow reezay on the front, running about 20psi in both, they have lasted me about 5 months but are in need of replacement now.
