As the HookWorm tire was being developed, a few of Maxxis' 20-inch pros requested a tread pattern that covered the entire sidewall. Their old-school tires were wearing through the sidewalls too quickly when doing rails, thus shortening the life of the tire. The idea was to get more performance and longevity for freestyle riders that run pegs. The result is a directional tread that encompasses the entire tire from rim edge to rim edge. The additional tread on the sidewalls prevents premature wear, hooks on walls, rails and coping. 70a durometer. 110 psi.
Strengths: good grip all the way round the tire
last a long time
strong sidewalls
Weaknesses: havent found any yet
Bottom Line:
all in all a excellent tire grips well with verly low noise and brilliant grip on tarmac,skate parks or even light dirt.this tire keeps its grips even in the wet unlike the oly roller or max daddy it also has a good side wall ive ridden this tire for 3 years with no trouble with pinchflats . all in all get this tire if u want a strong durable tire that will grip anything
