These tires have a very agressive patern, but rolls nicely on pavment and is reasonably priced
no so far
I have been using these tires on ice and snow in Yellowknife where there is no serious clearing of the roads and no salting and these tires perform perfectly. When I hit snow with smooth ice beneath I sometimes start to slide but when the side knobbys grip I just go right up again. These tires just smash through deep drifts of snow. I have been using Ritchey products for 20years now and they still perform.

This tire claims to be Severe Condition. I don`t get that feeling at all. It doesn`t work any better than my 2-year-old Team Master in mud. It works OK in dry conditions but isn`t it what you should expect from an average tire? I have run on it for 1 month and some knobs are already starting to tear off. A good thing I got this tire cheap.

Picked up a MudMax from the local shop the day before the year's first race. Since it had rained for 4 days, thought it would be the ticket. And it was was. On a very muddy, sloppy course the tire cut in and cleaned quickly. Climbing was better than I thought, with no center knob. Cornered well, 1.9 size spins fast, Kevlar bead keeps it light. Only downside was under heavy downhill braking. A bit unpredictable there. A great race tire in the slop. Did ride with it the next week on some dry trail (too lazy to change). Real bouncy. Overall a great tire in the right place.

I used a Velociraptor for several months and it was good. I bought a Mad Max rear and it is better. It is an awesome climbing tire. It doesn't wear as well as the Velociraptor, but it climbs MUCH better. I'll buy them next time.

My Ritchey Kevlar Climb-Max (rear) came stock on my bike, and I must say I am pretty happy with its performance. I have not seen many other reviews on these tires, but for me they have performed great in all kinds of conditions (sand, gumbo, rocks, roots). The wide spacing between knobbies means they shed mud well and I have been very happy with their performance in the gumbo. As well, they have worn well, lasting just about a year under heavy use in demanding conditions. I am about to replace this tire and I think will be buying another Kevlar Climb-Max.

This is a really good tire for wet weather or tough terrain. It has really wide spacing between knobbies which keeps it from clogging with mud. It also floats and tractors over sand really well. This tire climbs better than my Omega-bite in all conditions. It doesn't corner as well as the Omegabite, but it does hold really well and let's loose controllably, allowing precision rear end flat-track slides or switch-back 180's. The negatives of this tire are that it doesn't wear very well under dry/rocky conditions. I shredded this tire in a month/month and a half. In the winter, when the trail is softer, this tire lasted me about 3 months. The only other negative is it is only available in a wire bead, so it's not the lightest tire to spin. But it is cheap, and can be picked up for less than $25 (probably for less than $20 mail order). They are kinda' hard to find though. I recommend you find someone that has them, and buy a couple for this winter. You'll like 'em.
