I bought these tire to replace an ageing set of MTB tires. I got the 2.2 because they had them in stock at the time but when i replace the back i will probably go with the 2.4. That being said it might be a while before that happens as i have around 400 miles on them and you can barely tell they have been ridden. let me add that if you are a big guy ( I am 6.2 and around 260 lbs) and you ride a hard tail you have about 10 psi to play with between to hard and to soft ( i think the 2.4 might open that range up a little), but even with my weight letting the air out to 35 (the lowest recommended air pressure) they still role awesomely. Just don't ask the to break lose on most surfaces. That leads me to my only problem with this tire and that is water. on pavement slow down, off pavement BE CARE FULL and avoid mud. they also throw water like a fire hose so if you use your bike to commute get a set of finders.

This tire is great for unicycling street. Take a curb or an uneven patch of sidewalk with ease. A pedestrian approaching and you need to switch to the grass or gravel portion, or swing to asphalt - quickly? All good. Tufts of grass at the park will no longer slide by, and steep hills aren't a problem at all, with a little less air in the tire. And it's light as bumblebee wings.
I hear the sidewalls are a bit tender, so super-duper off road and downhill may not be the bees' knees on this package of all around robust design.
There is good reason why this tire comes so heavily recommended. This is the 26" x 2.4" version.

Great urban tires for asphalt/concrete grip and low rolling resistance. They can handle hard pack, but suffer considerably on loose over hard. Found that out real quick when I laid my bike over cornering over a few leaves on some singletrack in the local park. Fairly easy to get flats on if you have any thorny thing near them but for a street/urban setup these are the way to go and the price wasn�t bad either. Great tires for my paved trail greenway bike but I�m a little warrior when I go off road to watch out for loose gravel, sand, or other trail debris I can slide out on pretty easily.

This is a really nice tire. The tread design allows for smooth easy rolling while providing excellent grip and the ample sidewall flex is easy on your body. I ride on asphalt paved trails mostly. I've got about 40-yrs of experience on two wheels. (Dirt and Road bicycles as well as Dirt and Road motorcycles) Having raced Motocross for 10-yrs I have a tendency to push hard in the corners. These tires are very confidence inspiring. I run them at 30psi or so and they give me all the comfort I need while still gripping well under all sorts of cornering conditions. I consider them a winwinwin in the categories of pricevalueperformance.

Rolls awesome on pavement while maintaining some offroad handling when you want to hit hardpack or a gravel trail. It's a great balance for those looking for very little rolling resistance but not looking for a slick

Replaced some old aggressive tires that were on my trek 4300. These thing ride GREAT on asphalt with very little noise, compared to the more aggressive tires on the flat grass/sand/shell roads I frequent, I haven't noticed any loss like some mention.

I was looking for a good tire for my converted mtn bike to ebike. I found these and gave them a try. Glad i did,low rolling resistance and good traction on road and trail. Only have about 150 mile on them. Hope to get 2000 miles on them. Time will tell.

Wasnt sure what to expect with these holy rollers before ordering. Turns out they handle quick, roll fast and you can bury them deep in fast corners. The casing is thin and flexible which is why they grip so well (watch out if you have bad luck shredding sidewalls with other tires). The large blocky square knobs keep tread squirm down, but give good traction in dry dirt and hard pack.

Az thorns still penetrate these tires and tubes.
Still looking for a better puncher resistant tube and tire combination.
Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thank you

Shipped fast. Easy install if familiar with tube changes. Good feel for multiple surfaces. My usage is mostly short gravel and concrete trails and asphalt between trail systems and these are perfect. Going on longer rides wanted to replace 20 year old tires. As you would expect, huge improvement.

Replaced old set of tires and tubes . These were wider than originals. Looking good and update bike . Delivery was quick and mounting trouble free. Great purchase!

These roll over the cracks instead of in them. Wanted Maxxis after buying some for my travel trailer. Also will be able to do some dirt riding also. Had 10 year old kendas that developed a bulge. Went from 1.95 to 2.2 can't wait till spring. Also Maxxis has its own factory in Thailand, there not just contracted out to any Chinese company

Review by RC
I bought this because I mainly ride on rail trails, but wanted sometching that would also work well off road. These tire roll better than anything I've tried on road and have proven plenty capable off road. No issues with these tires at all. They actually work better than I expected.

Works great for hard pack trails or street use. Doesnt seem to wear fast either. Definitely a good all around tire . Install was fast and easy.
Review by mikef
I put these tires on my Dirt Jumper and have been super stoked. They roll fast but still grip quite well. They are heavier than a super fast rolling tire, but I don't mind the weight.

Time for new tires and I found these on Bike Tires Direct. The reviews were good and when I put them on my bike I could not be happier.
