Re: Maxxis tyres
if you mean the new supermaxx sport tyres then there brilliant. surprisingly decent wet grip aswell, i dont think you would regret putting a set on the zxr.

Re: Maxxis tyres
they were tested by none other than Guy Martin for PB a month or two ago. Came out pretty well when tested against a set of (IIRC) Bridgestones that cost twice as much.
I'll try and find the article in question later.

Re: Maxxis tyres
Never heard of 'em!
Cheap tyres are only good if they're good...
*has a brainwave*
Hang on - aren't these the people who bought out Challenger Tomahawk?

LOL yes!RedexRobB wrote:didnt you have a tyre from them that lasted forever?
A front tyre on my ZXR400 that lasted for at least 4 rears (that's REAR TYRES - not Chinese for '4 years'), and to look at it you'd think it had been on the bike for a few weeks!
I hope it is Challenger. It's a shame that nobody could get their head around the fact that tyre technology has moved on in the last 40 years, and they were re-manufactured using identical processes to any top manufacturer. Bargain tyres.

Re: Maxxis tyres
Done a couple of hundred miles on tyres now. Edge grip could be better, had the rear sqirm a few times gassing out of islands. Been out tonight in the wet and the rear spun like a giraffe of an island, but could of been diesel (right by a petrol station). Not overly impressed at the mo, i'll get some more mileage out of them and give an update.
