Title: Maxxis tyres
Post by: Steve H on March 16, 2009, 12:57:17 PM

Anyone tried these ?. They are priced well and I seem to remember an article recently in Performance Bikes were they were rated fairy well.

Steve,

I use the Goldpseed road legal intermediates on the Duke. Great tyre, especially on wet roads (feels like you're riding on a dry road, which is a bit weird!).

I don't unfortunately keep accurate records on how long they last, but I wouldn't say they wear out noticeably quicker than the Pirelli Diablo's that I originally had on the bike. I probably getting about 3/3.5 k on a rear.


HTH,
Simon

I run Maxxis tytres on the van and the company sponsors that Yamaha school racing that's on the telly every now and then. There is a garage just down the road from me that has a fleet of transit people carriers and they use them, cheap but have all the official stamps etc. Should be good on a bike.
PS my van runs at 60psi!, I think they are Korean or some place like that.

You're all too posh.  I prefer 'Goldenboy'.  Cheng Shin not too bad, but a bit pricier.........

So long as they're black, round, and stop the rims rubbing on the road.
