Many years ago whilst in the Isle of Man at the Manx Grande Prix (August) I spoke to a well know motorcycle racer regarding what tires he was using. "Maxxis", he said. Never heard of them! Got home and had them put onto my road bikes. Jolly good tires; good dry grip and pretty good wet grip too. Very impressed. They actually lasted well too being slightly harder compound. Getting to the point. I have just replaced the tires on my Audi A6 twin turbo; lots of power if required but on soft grippy tires that have lasted just 15000 miles. Now, tires on the big Audi are not cheap and don't last long. The Maxxis tires 'drive' well, no longer 'following' the poor road surfaces and have great adhesion in the wet as long as you don't allow the 'big second turbo' to take over. Most impressed. 8mm of tread as well, certainly as good as the Pirellis fitted as standard. Jolly good price as well compared to the over-priced popular tires. Will I use Maxxis again? Yes I will. Most impressed with them.
