Reviews of Maxxis tires

After using inferior tires for years, the maxxis high roller 2 tires specd on my bike made me realize that tire choice is the greatest factor impacting cornering confidence, hands down. Once you actually feel the difference between a regular tire and a great tire it becomes a priority in your gear choices. I’ve never tried a maxxis tire that wasn’t great at whatever its intended use case is for. Maxxis makes a tire for every kind of riding style you’re trying to achieve, and each style works as intended. It’s hard for me to move away from maxxis when I know I’m getting exactly what I expect from their product.

I have tried many tires. I ride desert southwest US, just about every trail is rocky, angular, chunky, loose stuff that can shred a tire. When it comes down to it- the maxxis tires hold traction longer than anything, and they last longer than anything else.

Another dhr could work. They roll super fast for their chunk.

I've had good luck with the Maxxis tires, I've had them on all three of our trailers without a failure.

I ride mixed terrain and a good all year tyre for me is the Assegai. With that said, I had DHF front and rear on my old bike and it was stuck to the ground like glue.

Very dusty here, prefer DHF over Assegai. Also prefer Dissector on rear, I find that combo rolls well and has heaps of traction in the dry.

Tried a DHF for the first time yesterday. That vague transition zone is REAL and I did NOT like it.

Assegai is very good but be aware it can be very cloggy with mud and needs speed to clear. From what you say of your riding it might not be a problem for you but wet clay especially on slower tech trails can pretty much just turn them into a slick.

I've ran the DHF for years and currently run it, but I've ridden a few bikes with the Assegai and I think it is in every way a better, more predictable tyre than a DHF.

I run a DHR II and an Assegai for downhill. I love the hookup of the Assegai for varied conditions. The DHF and Assegai are both great tires but I find the Assegai more aggressive with better traction overall.
