I used Maxxis tires on my Supermoto last season, and occasionally for dirt track this season, they worked very well, especially for the money. I am considering trying a set of Supermaxx's on my TLR.

I still have one on the front but the one on the rear has already been replaced. Too much wheeling and burning out. The tires are great, I don't notice them handling any different than any other brand I've used!

I've run the Supermaxx before, too. No complaints from me.

I know a guy who ran them on his RC51. He never had any complaints.
Are they recap tires? I have heard people say bad stuff about them but have heard good things from people too. I am sure they are fine though. |
