Review by EhookwormReviewed 10/4/2023by EhookwormCompetitive RacercoloradoBest all terrain tire, extremely durableabout 12 years ago I put these tires on my old downhill mountain bike and turned it into a urban warrior/light trail bike, I've never gotten a flat (running slime tubes) and have put hundreds of miles on them. Last week I converted that downhill bike to a 1200watt Ebike and these tires are still on my bike. After 65 miles of tearing around with a 1200watt booster on the back i am starting to see a little wear on the rear tire. The little tinny knobbies are finally gone in a strip around the middle. Point of this ramble is that after more than a decade of riding on these tires and an e bike conversion i am finally seeing a little bit of wear take hold on the rear tire. I probably have 1000s of miles to go before i'll need to replace 1 of the two i bought in 2011.

Review by BrewCityRonReviewed 11/30/2020by BrewCityRonCasual CyclistMilwaukee, Wi. USA2 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Great tires for urban environments when installed on my mountain bike. My mountain bike has always had knobby tires on it. After some research, I decided to treat myself to a set of these knob-less tires since I seldom go off road with my bike. Minimal rolling resistance, good looks and above all, they were a value at only 32 dollars each with free shipping. At 2.5" wide, my bike now looks almost like a "fat tire bike" which seems to be the trend now. I would not only recommend these tires to anyone, I would also buy them again.

Review by Beer_BikesReviewed 9/10/2020by Beer_BikesCycling EnthusiastAustin, Texas8 of 8 customers found this review helpful.Comfortable ride, transformed my 90's mountain bike to a multi-surface cruiser!I'm loving these tires, a great way to breath new life into your 26" 90's mountain bikes. With these tires, my old Diamondback is my grab-&-go bike. Smooth riding on asphalt and plenty of cushion on gravel paths and through the woods.
A few notes: they are heavy tires, and I can feel it on climbs.
They are really wide, so make sure you have plenty of clearance
And since they're so wide, they definitely need the bigger tubes that aren't typically stocked at big-box stores.

Review by SteveReviewed 12/27/2021by SteveCycling EnthusiastSan Diego, CA1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Outstanding tires, great traction dry or wetI mounted these tires on my original Rad Rover rims. They fit great and actually expand out to 3.1 inches even though "rated" as 2.5". I'm getting a smooth and quiet ride, more efficiency, and great traction on dry or wet.

Review by SanteeReviewed 10/29/2021by SanteeDaily CommuterSouthern CaliforniaGreat TiresI am using these Hookworms on a stretch bicycle. They grip the road very well. They are a "Speed roller" tire. No road resistance make these tires a bunch of fun! And that's what it is all about!!!

Review by KingmanReviewed 10/21/2021by KingmanDaily CommuterOakland, CACreate fat tire lookI wanted my ebike conversion to draw attention and having very wide or widest tire that can fit on the rim is one of the, if not, least expensive way to go and Maxxis Hookworm 26x2.5 did the trick. Ride is smooth and comfortable with very little rolling resistance. Will definitely order these Maxxis tires again when I have another ebike conversion to do.

Review by jasonmdxReviewed 1/2/2021by jasonmdxCycling Enthusiastjacksonville beach, fl3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Perfect fit on my beach cruiserI was looking for the widest tire I could fit on my beach cruiser and this tire is just right at 2.5 inches wide, a little wider than the stock tires. The tread feels smooth but very 'grippy' on the street and also works great in hard packed beach sand. I run them at 40psi and the ride is very comfortable.

Review by Chip FellReviewed 9/20/2020by Chip FellNew Jersey1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.No more flat tires My daughter was popping tubes everyday on her 26� Haro downtown. I bought these tires from bike tires direct 3 months ago and haven�t replaced or repaired a tube since then. I highly recommend this tire and doing business with bike tires direct.

Review by ''VidsuReviewed 1/3/2014by ''VidsuCycling EnthusiastNorco, CA12 of 15 customers found this review helpful.Nice riding tire good for training rides on bike paths or city streets.Overall a very good tire if you are looking to replace your knobbies with a durable, smooth rolling tire. I put a pair of Hookworms on my old GT Timberline mountain bike so I could ride the many miles of concrete bike paths in my area. The Hookworms perform well for this purpose. Granted they are heavy, so don't expect the snappy feel of a high pressure, skinny tire, but for logging miles and burning calories they are great. Be sure to run a 2.50 wide tube.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 6/19/2018by Anonymous4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Great tires.I bought these tires to put on an ebike project and I love them. They hold the road fine at 40mph and I have no worries about riding in the rain. I already bought another pair for my next project. I believe these tires are well worth the price. Obviously I would not recommend them for off road use.

Review by Willy510Reviewed 5/28/2018by Willy510Daily CommuterRichmond,CA5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Great street tiresVery grippy and durable, not the lightest but if you want to bomb around the streets and some hard pack these are the tires to get. The extra volume helps cushion out some of the bumps too.
