unterhausen You have me considering those Maxxis tires. I read into them and like the idea of running a higher mileage compound down the middle with grippier compound on the sides. They feature sidewall protection which is a plus. From what I could dig up people seemed to like them. Could you point me to a thread or maybe expand on these tires abit? It was hard to find any reviews on the tire, maybe only a couple.
I did learn that Chen Shing tires are actually behind the Maxxis moniker, to my surprise! I had a pair of 27" cheapie wire bead Cheng Shins that I ran on my winter beater and I was impressed by them. I had expected junk but they were grippy and quick rolling. Now I know 🤔
