Reviews
I use these for city commute, while they are nice looking thick tires they are high on rolling resistance compared to some other commuter tires, I have used in the past, average speed dropped 1-1.5mph after switching to these tires, after all this is a sticky BMX tire.
But they are very stable and seems to be good against puncture.
The ride is smooth on these tires. The Maxxis are on a folding bike coverted to an ebike. The tires grip very well climbing hills with little rolling resistance and that's important for an ebike, where you want a steady cadence and less rolling resistance to aid the motor spinning at a high rpm. So far so good!
Using this on my SWB USS Haluzak recumbent. Wanted something lighter than the 20" Schwalbe's. Really liking this tire so far. My recumbent is weight biased to the front and I'm getting great performance with it aired down to 38psi! Rolls well at this pressure and smooths out our very rough pavement. This is one tough tire but it's no dog either.
After 3 months of 45 miles weekly I can say I'm super happy with these tires. They pump to an incredible 110 psi and are hard and fast, but wide with good grip. Unbelievable value.
