Re: Maxxis tyres
 

Ask Wideboy he says they're very good

Me got Metzeler z6's, which are cheapish, but are very good too

fine in the dry, ok in the wet but not great but fine for the price.

I have one on the back of my bike is seems to be wearing well, appears half worn at 4000 miles

i have the sportmaxx not the touring ones. I only use them on the SV so not sure what they'd be like on bigger bikes but i hear good things. I think they're good for the money.

On the sv i found them pretty good, in the dry i find they wear well, heat up nicely and personally not had them let go, only used them in the wet occasionally but they seamed ok, the SV is a toy for me so not commuted them.

Had them on my zx6f3 over last winter .
Not in metzeler teritory but good enough in the wet

Re: Maxxis tyres
 

When I replaced my tyres (I got michelin pilot roads and I love them!), I talked to the guy that was fitting them and he said that Maxxis tyres are made very cheaply by a chinese sub company using old technology, the quality isn't nearly as good as the bigger brands and that they lose their profile much worse because of a lack of structure. So overall they don't sound brilliant. That's just his opinion so don't take this as a criticism.
I got my michelins for just under £150 and Maxxis' were around £140 (talking about pairs obviously), i'd personally rather pay the extra £10 and get better tyres
