vs
Tires FEDERAL or Maxxis
Maxxis Maxxlite 29x2.0
Good tire if you have a lot of paved transitions between gravel sections. 375 grams per tire.
Pros: good tire
It seems like every time I go riding it rains here in Sweden, so its pretty unavoidable! I just wear a rain jacket and decent pants for all of my riding and fear most every root or bare rock encounter (which is constant on MTB trails).
Cons: fear every root encounter
Yung maxxis pinalit ko sa stock dunlop ng fazzio ko mas makapit pa. Hehe.. naalala ko ilan beses muntik sumemplang sa dunlop pero sa maxxis makapit na makapit.
Pros: mas makapit pa
I had Maxxis winter tires on my Kia. Near impossible to get stuck in deep snow. Wear was really good but just used in the winter. Had them for 7 years with no flats or dry rot. They did tend to wander on the highway though.
Pros: good wear, no flats
Cons: wander on highway
Vehicle:
Kia
Maxxis razr AT. Just as good if not better than wild peaks and about 10lbs lighter per tire(265/70 17)
Pros: better than wild peaks
Cons: 10lbs lighter
Maxxis rambler is a better all rounder while being a similar tire (for sure faster on pavement) ...I also loved pirelli cinturato gravel h on both pavement and dirt
Pros: faster on pavement
Federals will be really noisy after a few thousand miles. Almost like your wheel bearings don’t exist anymore. Had rs-rr and 615k+. 615k+ is better. Both are way off pace but great budget tires. 615k+ is actually a pretty good tire for hpde.
Pros: great budget tires
Cons: really noisy
I run 29x2.4 Ikon/Aspen on hardpack and it serves me well. The Aspen at first was more nervous over roots but I think I was running too high a pressure and it’s much better. The Ikon is just my jack of all trades XC tire; not good or bad at anything.
Pros: jack of all trades
Cons: nervous over roots
I would highly recommend passing up maxxis tires. Those things are so danged slow. Vittoria Mexcals or Teravail oxbows are what I’d look for.
Pros: Vittoria Mexcals recommended
Cons: maxxis tires slow
I love my Kryps but I’d be lying if I didn’t place them at the top of the PITA list especially the DH casing.
Cons: PITA list
