Maxxis Supermaxx Sport Touring Tyres (MR6029)- anyone usd them?
 
Hi

Anyone had any experiences with this tyre? I did a search and they have been mentioned although nothing specific, or on this model.

I know they are at the cheaper end of the scale. Anything not much dearer but loads better?

What is a rough guideline price on fitting a pair, both for wheel in on its on or still attached to the bike?

Thanks all

Good reviews overall - looks like Im getting a pair soon.

£10 per tyre off the bike seems to be mentioned so I'll keep that in mind.

How much does it cost to fit them if I just ride the bike in? Much more, or neglible?

I'd call my local but I have no phone access at the moment, lol.

Has anyone, on another note, used the Maxxis Supersport tyres on an SV?

What are your thoughts?

if you fancy a ride to norwich Tinklers motorcycles sell maxxis and fit tyres to the bike for free last time i was there. THe quote for my old vrf750 was i think about 144 fitted!(front and back).
However that was in winter so may have changed.

I had a pair of the sports fitted on Monday morning (ride in). With nitro fill - £32

Bought a set from DK online... £132 delivered. Replaced a set of BT-021's.

So far I'm very impressed.

Excellent!

Incidently I found a mobile service guy that does tyres as well

£20 each for on bike, £10 if I take em off myself. Not bad for coming to my place to do it!

had a pair of these fitted for almost a year now, done 7k miles, use the bike for daily commute and fast road blasts, and the rear still has tons of tread.

trust them 100%, and do like to push the bike in the twisties, almost no chicken strips left. Id definately fit them again.

Also for the sake of an extra £10-£20 ride in, it seems much easier to go that route, I cant be bothered with the time and agro removing the wheels.
