Maxxis st tires

Are the maxis st tires any better than the rest. I have 230/80/16 tires now and I don't think I can go to the 235/85/16 due to clearance I have blown power King and marathons I am trying to find a good tire if there is one. I only have about 2 inches of clearance above these tires now.

  • Most folks here, myself included have had excellent results with Maxis. After a China bomb blowout I replaced all 4 on my TT with Maxxis and never looked back. I am on my second motorcycle trailer with them as well since a blowout on a single axle is probably going to be a disaster and might cost me my bike.

    They are only a few bucks more than the China junk bombs and ride/wear very well. IMHO: Given the substantial damage that is often done during any blowout buying Maxxis is a no brainer.

    As always.... Opinions and YMMV.
