[Review] maxxis m-tread

[bongs]

ok this tyre is dave mirras signature. its a street park tyre, and goes up to 110psi. it all sounds great and i liked this tyre. i had it 4 months and replaced it today. i rode mine on the back and i run a back brake, but only had one for 3 of those four months.
but after skidding on this it wore down pretty quickly and towards the end i noticed it had cuts in it and small chunks out of it. today it wore wore right through but was a very small bit an unnoticable but it burst my inner tube.

so 3 months of having a brake seems like a short time for a tyre to blow out, so if you have brakes i dont recomend it, but it was really nice and smooth so for anybody brakeless i do recomend it.

i dont understand why people skid, its pointless
braking is braking also, skidding doesnt make you brake quicker

[drk_fly]

it can. if u plant ur foot and spin it 180

Skidding doesn't count to tire life unless its on dirt.

[bongo]

yea, if you dont skid when you brake you will stop better, because when you skid your not getting any traction.

[Louis K]

Yeah. Thats why I love my evolvers, you can feather them and it makes brakeing so much faster then just skidding.

exactly

yea, evolvers are great. they lock up real easy if you wont them to and they even lock up great with the soft springs. also, since you have evolvers, did you bike come with the stiff or soft springs? the stiff ones are super beafy if you dont know.

[Louis K]

I am thinking they gave me the soft springs because its like a delay when I let go of the lever. I guess I need to buy these Stiff MANLY springs! :lol:

[cav89]

lol, evolvers COME WITH TWO SETS OF SPRINGS, dude................

check the box

[bongo]

lsteven got them with the bike, not seperately.

skidding is fun . specialy when its a little damp out and you can skid like 180 then try to 180 out to start going again .. or skidding to a stop inches away from someone.. i skid just about every time i stop! .

my m tread lasted a season ,, i thought it was a great tire.. it was still rideable (but close to bald) when i took it off n gave it away too. i would get it again if it came in more colours.

[Louis K]

haha yeah skids are fun though. I did loads today and my tire held upto it. Also made skids marks all in my room :lol: Stuffs fun! :D Never tryed the skid 180 to rollout ill try it next time :lol:

[Street Cowboy]

not roll out 180 skid to 180 bunnyhop thingy so your going straigt or you are facing forward.. they are a bit harder then they sound

[Louis K]

Oh I get what you mean :lol:

[custom_bmx]

[Dakwota]

If you only have a back brake does that mean you'll always skid?

[custom_bmx]
