Tires OEM Mazda or Maxxis

I commuted 100 miles a day in my CX5 in snowy Maine. I had a 6speed manual transmission and snow tires and never had a problem.

I also swapped the stock tires for A/T tires, mostly for the looks, but they actually helped in sand and rough surfaces.

Hatte mal Maxxis Sommerreifen und war begeistert, die waren leise und hatten nass/trocken immer super Haftung.

De Maxxis-banden kunnen er af en je kan eenvoudig Pilot Sport 5 laten monteren.

As others have stated, it is important to factor in the tire's width when discussing the transition zone on the DHF. I love the 2.3 DHF. I find the 2.5 to be very good, but less predictable.

I just ordered a set of Maxxis RC1 because of bad feedback I heard about the Proxes R. I’ve run the RC1 for a while now and they’re a great track day tire. Super consistent through long sessions and over many heat cycles.

They are definitely not twice as good. I was riding a Rekon/Ardent race combo and replaced them with Fast Track/ Renegade while those were on sale and I don’t feel like I’ve had any drop in performance.

Maxxis tires give 40% on a $120 MSRP - so $48. Seems like a good gig for the retailer. However...Maxxis is the worst line to carry.

Huh. When I try the DHF in back, the braking is just to unpredictable for me.

I had a sidewall get punctured pretty badly on the EXO casing tires that came with my bike riding in Southern California.
