[Review] Maxxis Miracle Tyre

[MCHardmanUK]

Article from BMX-Zone.com, http://www.bmx-zone.com/en-article-id-338.html

Call me a Maxxis tyre whore if you like but I’ve used every Maxxis tyre currently on the market and I won’t use anything else, which might just start to explain something about Maxis tyres in general. Maxxis have been making tyres for a long time now and they have produced many great tyres for all sorts of riding but Id have to say the Miracle tyre comes up trumps as far as the best street tyre is concerned.

The tread pattern is unique with the straight grooved tread running the complete circumference f the <city></city>

Tyre . This design allows rolling resistance to be kept at a minimum while not sacrificing grip. When the tyre is contacting the ground at an angle or slammed into the ground the raised grooved tread is allowed to flex and partial take the shape of the surface it is in contact with greatly increasing the grip levels. Weight wise these tyres are quite light at 640grams for one, which is something else to bare inmind if you are a weight whore or want to decrease rolling resistance.

The tyre is made from a 60a rubber compound like in all other Maxxis tyres and this simple means it is a very hard and durable rubber and as you guessed the tyre has lasted me a goodfive months now, though if you skid a lot it may probably not last as long. The sidewalls are pretty dam strong and on my tyre after aboutthree moths of riding did I notice damage to the sidewall but there has been no splitting of the sidewall or stitch work showing through after five months of riding.




Specs

They are really easy to get on and off rims with a set of good tyre levers and on some occasions putting them on without any tools also works.


Price wise I can&rsquo;t fault them; &pound;10 from the shop 2 minutes away from me is an extremely good price for such a well designed and long lasting and performing tyre.

Nice review. I was thinking about getting one of these a while back..

[SHARDS]

Mines coming up to a year old and still with plenty of life in it, I definately vouch for the 9.5/10...the "not perfect" bit being that the grooves tend to pick up bits of debris and stones etc when street riding. In a skatepark it gets 10/10 - Awesome tyre !

I was thinking more along te lines of the colour of the writing on the sidewal but yes the above is true aswell.

I've had this tire in the back in 1.95" for 2 months now and I love it. I only got 1 pinch flat. It had amazing grip too..

[hobakop]

i'm thinking of getting one for the rear wheel too. Must be a great tire!

[malvern.nick]

[Trimix]

I just bought two. I am only running one on the back so far, but they seem fine. No issues with slipping, and I ride masonite a lot :)

[bmXrated]

[flyback]

[Tijmen]

hi,
i wanne buy this tire but there's a problem.
my local bike shop sells them sice : 1.95 and 2.1 http://www.paulsboutique.nl/modules/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=10
i have a haro f2 and that bike has a 2.0 tire can the miracle tire fit my bike?

[ZDN]

yeah just use the 1.95

[loz]

mine died after less than 1 moths riding. it got a puncture that went through the tyre completly, leving a 5mm hole in the tyre. i plugged it but i got another.

the tyre is briliant absolutley briliant i loved it, perfect for street as it just so hapens

[fastgreg]

i'll be pickin' one up for sure. my rear tyre is wasted!(specialized) it was ok but not a good street tire better for dirt. the miracle looks awesome!

[vpbiker18]

hey i have a pair of them and like them. all of my buds think they suck cuz they are made mainly for vert and park. but i dissagree. i to have had them for about a year and the are still good. if you are wondering about it do it the are good tires.

[Vex]

I run 2 mirracles they are awsome !!!!!!!!!

[whaaaa]

how long will a miracle tire last for a brakeless rider like me?
if it wont last to long then any other tire options?

[dr satan]

i dnt like then but i guess it's just me hay i like the hookworm thay dnt wear out as fast :D :twisted:

i agree, the hookworms rule. iv neer used the miricle but i was thinking of getting one if my back tire ever weres away

[Snake Lizard]

Don't footjam like an idiot and it will last forever.
Otherwise get an ASM tire.

[Scottehrm]

i ride breaks and i don't skid. i was just wondering which is actually grippier from the opinion of someone who has ridden the myricle and the asm. i wanna get a new back tire but i cant decide.

[Snake Lizard]

I don't know how the mirracle grips but my asm has the best grip I've ever had.

[kevinbmx]

Was thinkin of gettin one of these for the front, but im afrad they slip in the front.any one has one in the front?...........oh and i ride stree,if it makes a difference

[dr satan]

id go for something with a little more grip in the front. i gonna go for the odyssey path.

[fastgreg]

i ordered the 1.85 miracle 2 weeks ago and checked the other day, someone at the shop crossed it off the list!! :evil: DAMN ! i told the boss to make sure it gets ordered, so i should have it in like 2 more weeks :evil: its rainin crazy here anyway but still...:x

[zacaroo]

i rode a mates 4 pack at the skatepark with miracles on and they are good the grip on them was great there was no slip even though there was dust through the skatepark it gripped good id recommend it

[Van]

might have to pick one of these bad boys up

[fastgreg]

i didnt want to make another review for this but ive had my miracle on the rear for two weeks and its awesome! id recomend it to anyone. it feels solid and rolls fast, and grips on the sh!tty local roads and the smooth Bball courts too (havnt ridin park yet) doesnt look like its wearing down at all (only two weeks). id prob get another when this wears out tho. i could see this working for a rear (if you get the 2.10) while dirt jumping, but not first choice. i dont ride dirt so its a great all around street/park/ramp tire. good job maxxis. anyway heres the pics of it mounted...

[dr satan]

im gonna buy one of these if my hookworm ever fails me...

[bleedaway]

i was thinking about getting one for my back tyre, do these come in 1.95?

[mvbmxkid]

i can get 2 for free from the local shop

[badger]

i have ordered one maxxis mirical 2 days ago after trying my brothers bike(dr_satan) on our small local parkk after he brought a oddessy path for the front and alreaddy had a hookworm on his bike and i prefere the desighn of the mirical and it has the same psi rating and both have good roll resistance so me and dr_satan will have hookworm and mirical on back and oddessy path on front

[AstorianStigmata]

I Been Riding These Tires For Two Years, Can Be Slippery In Certain Situations...But Amazing In Others

[parkstreet]

i had one of these tires and when i did a 2 foot gap to feeble and the a 4 foot gap to landing it couldnt take the pressure and just burst. i had it a the correct psi also

[Carsten Bonde]

I wouldent call them light.. eh, but its its a good rewiev who ever made it

[pandora95]

would these be decent for a rear tire for trails
