I ordered a Maxxis Supermaxx front tire for my R6 today. It gets good reviews in magazines and on the net and is cheap. I have Maxxis tires on my mountain bike right now that work great and I have used Maxxis tires on dirt bikes. I have tried michelins, metzelers, bridgestones and dunlop 207s and 208s on other bikes. I thought I would try something new. Anyone else try them or have an opinion either way? I am aware that Maxxis is owned by Cheng Shin, but the two brands are completely different.

i had some on my 900. they are junk.

 

if i was buying tires for a bike that i loved, i would buy a set of m1's.

i run m1's on the front and like them alot

 

m1's are the ONLY way to go.....maxis tires are JUNK

you get what you pay for....that's all i'm sayin

 

Sounds like Justin is having doubts! I will hold off ordrering until you give me a call.

If You Need Tires I Have A Ton Of Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa Tires At My Disposal. They Are Race Take Offs But They Were Only Used For Practice And Have Tons Of Tread Left. $100 Pair

 

I will only run Pirelli or Metzeler's. You get what you pay for in the price of a tire.

 

Race take offs are fine for burning off but are bad news otherwise on the street.

 

i like to run the pirellis. i have had good luck with them.

 

popeye likes supermax's for stoppies

 

I've had good luck with em....as long as they aren't TOTALLY cooked its all good

and I second the pirrelli thing those things even get long mileage .. I was runnin soft compound take offs and they lasted longer than alot of "street tires" I've had

 

do you have to take a pair or can you do a front or rear seperate

 

ive never had a problem with them.

 

I'll sell em each.

I have a front race take off on my R6 and it works great.

 

Note to self: conduct informal internet poll BEFORE purchasing tire. I already have pilot race tires without a lot of use on the bike, I just thought an actual street tire would be the way to go. If this tire was on the CBR900RR when it went over as shown in the VMC video, I can see why Kyle doesn't like them.
I had a Metzeler on my last F3, it worked great, I just thought I would try something new. If I don't get this Maxxis, I will go back to a Metzeler.

Mike: I will call you to discuss the tire. If you already ordered it, no big deal.

Because you are a god!
