They make good push bike tires oh and motor bike tires so I'd say they aren't too bad. If anything better than a lot of known brands.

My thoughts are if they make motor bike tires they must be pretty good because motor bike tires have to be extremely safe and grippy.

I use these in 2.5/R26 size and find that traction is great on mud, loose gravel and rocks too. They are quite heavy but the confidence, mid-corner more than makes up for the weight penalty. Quite long lasting too: about 4/5 years so far.

I won't hesitate to buy more Maxxis when the time comes.

The motorbike tyres are great! Cheap and good. Not as much grip as a Pilot Power, but then they don't cost Michelin money!
