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.
Yeah, I have 20k with these on my Mazda6 and I wouldn't say they're unresponsive. In fact I would say they're quite responsive in that they like to track in the direction you're turning, so the car gets encouraged to dive into turns. One thing I have noticed is that they feel much more dead if you let them get low. Keep them at 36psi.
I’m glad the series asked Firestone for a bigger differential in pace between the reds and blacks. A lot of the time last year it seemed largely negligible.
I managed to get her setup with some Firestone all seasons, with hazard warranty for 600 out the door at a Firestone auto center.
Another dhr could work. They roll super fast for their chunk.
Firestone is a budget “decent” tire. Crossclimate 2 is made to be VERY good in snow and rain (it also lasts the 60,000 miles it claims).
I've had good luck with the Maxxis tires, I've had them on all three of our trailers without a failure.
Well, the Rekon races came highly regarded but my second day on one I flatted (rear tire). Maxxis claims it was a pinch flat. OK, maybe but it should have held up.
that's just a Firestone employee doing their upsell activity - same reason why the Jiffy Lube clowns like to tell you that you are overdue for transmission or brake fluid service.
I would recommend just outright avoiding Firestone. Aside from Firestone tires being garbage (except the Transforce line)
