They roll well and I don't think I have ever flatted on them as of yet.
They also come in a tan sidewall.
I've ridden them on gravel b4 and they held up well.
However on another vintage Trek mt bike, a 950, I have the Rat Trap Pass tires and these Maxxis do not measure up to them.
The Rat Traps make a noticeable difference on a bike.
They are definitely a step or 3 above in my view.
The Maxxis are good tires. I think they are also a good value and work well for me and saved me money over the another set of Rat Traps which I cannot justify buying for all 4 of my vintage 26 inchers.
Thanks. Pretty much in line with what I thought. I prefer black walls on my Stumpjumper and
afaik the RTP’s only come in gumwall. Also I am not sure I want to put that much into this bike. DTH seems like a decent middle ground between those and the Schwalbe Big Apples I have on there now (which I like OK, but they are heavy - around 930 iirc).
