BikeTiresDirect.com gave me a deal with vip points from other purchases on a tire replacement for my Surly Bridge Club. Maxxis Hookworms look cool, fill the frame nicely, roll smooth on the road, slide a little on the traction sand mounds, but nothing unpredictable, just a good smooth tire.
I have a Balany Boost 34mm inner width 27.5 inch wheel and a Crossmax 25mm 27.5 inch wheel. The Maxxis Hookworm tire is extremely difficult to pry into these rims. I've damaged both aluminum rims by attempting to do so. The hookworm is now in the landfill.
I love the hookworm. I had a pair on my hardtail a couple years ago and they lasted me 3+ years of abuse. Now, I installed a set on my 650b mountain bike as I am unable to get to the trails as often as I like, but I still wanted to have fun on it. Well, the formula is still the same. I've ridden over glass without a puncture, and the grip around corners is still incredible. The width is great and doesn't take away from the "look" of the bike overall. Once inflated to 60psi, I am able to fly by my roadie friends on the down hill. Was super happy with this tire in the 26 inch version back then and still am with this 650b version.
Original urban assault tire is an understatement these things stick like glue I ride downtown Portland Oregon every day if you hit some nasty leaves in a corner yeah you'll get a drift clinic but they hook up and they're in A275 they roll for ever
I ride a mountain E-Bike mostly on the street and paved trails. The Hookworm 27.5 x 2.5 tire set weighs more but low friction smooth fast rolling and shock absorbing offsets the extra weight. My ride did not feel heavier and I felt more momentum. The Hookworm tires will make your bike riding more enjoyable.
