MaxxisHigh Roller 2-26", 27.5", 29" - DH, DD, EXO - E25 Rating, Tubeless | Versatile Choice When Conditions are Soft Or Loose

These are great tires. They grip really well on dirt and gravel as well dry and wet pavement. They also have pretty low rolling resistance on pavement. I have these on front and back, setup tubeless. They work quite well as tubeless tires. I was using the tires that came with the bike and the difference is huge. Probably the single best upgrade I have done for my Talon.One thing you want to do before doing a tubeless setup with these is to unfold them and let them sit laying on there sides before mounting them. Let the crease relax so the bead doesn't want to pull away from the rim. I did this with the second tire and it popped much easier than just pulling them out of the package and trying to mount them.update:I've had these mounted for a few weeks now. The tubeless setup holds air better than the tubes that were in place before. The back tire is a ghetto conversion and the front is a standard conversion. The ghetto conversion cost about a third of the official conversion. Tubeless for mountain bikes is the way to go.update:I've been on some technical single track with these now. The side knobs really improve grip in high speed turns in sand over hard pack.update:Managed to rip the casing on some really rough trails. LBS said they had never seen this before on this tire so lucky me. Was immediately replaced by the manufacturer. So symptoms were, really wobbly tread and tire burping while going up steep inclines. Basically the tire couldn't hold its shape.

Maxxis always makes the best tires. Period. Super easy install. Got the bead set and aired up and went for a ride. They feel amazing and grip like glue.

I got these for my dad partly because he really needed new tires, because his old ritchey kevlar ones had been on there since he bought the bike and they were practically bald. Also I really wanted to help him get back into mountain biking by getting him set up with some new tubeless tires. Because in general the most important things to have in good working order on your bike are your contact points, these include grips, tires, saddle and peddles all of which you should feel comfortable with. These tires have Maxxis EXO protection which will be well suited for the most abusive of riders. Also they provide excellent proformace from what my dad told me from wet, muddy to dry and hard-pack conditions. My dad told me that he could really feel the ground better when he was running these tires tubeless opposed to when he was running just tubes with his old tires, which was great to hear. I might come back to this for an update after a few months of riding in wet rides this winer in the pacific-northwest. Also this spring were going to utah so we will se how these tires preform there. Ill post the update down below once im done! Hope this helped!

I was worried because it was $30 cheaper than anywhere else, but it’s legit and is a great tire!

This is my initial review, as I received them a few days ago, mounted them and rode them one day. I'll update my findings later on once I have a good impression of their ride qualities. I purchased the 29x2.3 inch, dual compound version and mounted them to Stan's Flow EX rims.Amazon delivered very fast (I have prime). When I first got them I unpacked them, unfolded them and left them out overnight on their sides. I think this allows the bead to unkink and makes mounting them easier. After removing my old tires (Schwalbe Hans Damf and Nobby Nic combo) and gently scraping out the dried up sealant (gross) I inspected the rim tape to make sure it wasn't peeled off or damaged. The Maxxis tires have pretty stiff sidewalls and the bead was a little tight. I worked the bead around almost all the way on by hand then with the help of a tire lever gently slid the last several inches over the lip of my rim. Once the tires were on the rim I squirted some soapy water onto the sides of the tire and the rim bed/bead socket with a spray bottle to help the tire slide into place and started pumping. I pumped and pumped, the soapy water bubbled a lot, but keep at it. The first part of the bead snapped into place at around 20 psi, then the rest snapped in around 30. I pumped up to max pressure (60 psi) and looked for soap bubbles which would indicate a leak. Didn't see any. Sweet.I let the tires sit on the rim for a few hours to make sure the were holding air before I checked the tire pressure. They lost a few psi but that's no surprise as I hadn't added sealant yet and had the pressure gauge on and off a few times. Before my ride this morning I added the sealant. I used the method on the Stan's bottle, pulling a small part of this tire off the rim, adding a couple ounces of sealant then re inflating and checking for leaks. I shook the wheels around for a little while to distribute the sealant around and then went for a ride.I don't have calipers, but my tape measure says the tires are true to size. On my rims they have a square-ish profile with pressure in the high 20s, with the burly looking center tread at a similar height to the shoulder knobs. They have less volume then my old Schwalbes (which are HUGE and very round) but the stiff sidewalls give the tire a lot of support. It feels more like a true double wall tire than a single wall XC tire. They have great traction when pedaling, only spinning when standing in very loose soil. Charging through rock gardens and cornering hard through berms felt very comfortable and the tall knobs paddle through loose soil and gravel with little slippage. The back tire stays very controlled as well under hard braking which was one of the weaknesses of my old Nobby Nic. It's been bone dry this season in the Northwest so I won't be able to comment on their performance in the wet for a while but so far I'm impressed. Based just on my initial impressions when mounting the tires I would recommend them because they were by far the easiest tire I have mounted and that includes when I was still using tubes.

With this on the back, and a 2.4 Ardent up front, my new Scott Genius is finally living up to it's potential. Big, wide side knobs let me throw it over hard into the switchbacks with full confidence. Even when I push too hard, these tires just slip a little then grab again.And I'm running 25 psi in front and 30 in back. They even grip good on wet roots. The trails here in Miami defy description, surface type is "everything". Roots, sand, loose and packed, dry and wet, Hard clay, loose rocks, rock outcrops, you name it. And it changes drastically by season, and sometimes by the hour. These two Maxxis tires don't seem to have a problem with any of it.Only about 60 miles on them so far, will update if my opinion changes.Update 2/26/15:Only more impressed with these tires. I have about a thousand miles on them now, and a couple months ago I upgraded the rims to 33mm wide Vuelta all mountains. The traction laying over in fast corners is just sick. Leaves you thinking "did I just do that?".

Cheapest I could find anywhere. Good grip and strength for proper mountain biking

Buon grip e guidabilita, facile da montare e prezzo competitivo

No complaints this weekend, it’s been a while since I hit the trails, not sure if the compound has changed, or if it’s because I went slightly wider but there was a noticeable improvement in grip over wet rock faces and uphill in the the mud.Rolling resistance is always a bit of a tradeoff for grip but I found these more than manageable. These tyres were used with inner tubes, I noticed how well they seat on the rim though and might be brave and use them tubeless next time.

Plenty of grip in challenging conditions brilliant tyre

Solita qualità maxxis. Eccellente!
