Title: Maxxis Promaxx Tires
Post by: Rollin668 on November 30, 2003, 06:54:37 PM
Anyone have any experience with these tires?
I'm looking at 3 brands right now... my riding will be almost 90% freeway travel with very little time spent leaned way over...)

Maxxis Promaxx (in stock sizes)
Avon HKM AM51/AM52 (in stock sizes)
Pirelli Sport Demons (in stock sizes or with a 140/70 rear...).

I know the Pirelli's are a higher quality, but is the extra cost really worth it since I'm not racing or doing any corner carving?

Thanks.

working on my first maxxis now, sofar its ok, but i dont like 130's for cornering anymore, the 150/60's will always give me more confidance when the bike lays over. but then, i havent found a sticky 130 series tire, sofar its ok, handles water acceptably. just not getting it broke in. will keep you all advised,   if your just worried about cost, i only paid 65 for mine. so cost isnt bad.
