frank Date Reviewed: May 28, 2012 Strengths: Great traction, good wear Weaknesses: If you use Stan's, BEWARE that your tire may blister (delam). This happened to me after I added it for the second time at about half life on the tire. I had no choice but to trash it. The Dude at the shop said it's happened before that Maxxis Lust has a chemical reaction with Stan's Bottom Line:

Harold Date Reviewed: May 11, 2012 Strengths: THESE TIRES ROAD WELL until the tire bubbled in different spots, both tires. I went back to the store were I bought these tires and they told me I must contact Maxxis. I sent Maxxis 3 emails and never got an answer. No sorry No nothing. Weaknesses: MAXXIS HAS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE! BECAUSE OF THIS I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND OR BUY MAXXIS TIRE OR ANY PRODUCT. Bottom Line:

from taft, ca, usa Date Reviewed: March 1, 2012 Strengths: This tire is outstanding for climbing. Seated or Standing it grips well in the dry loose conditions near Bakersfield, Ca. Weaknesses: This tire would not hold air while tubeless. I tried different pressures, I had it sealed well, everything that needed to be done to a tubeless tire. I could not get it to stop burping out air, which would lead to flat tires. I added tubes, no flats. The other problem is both of my tires have somehow twisted out of shape. The first one I thought was my wheel. Took it to the bike shop and we realized it was just the tire. We moved it to the front and some of wobble was gone but still noticeable. Last night on the trail I bunny hopped a rut and it was much more extreme. I thought I had bent my rim. No, same thing rim straight, tire weird. Needless to say I am finished with these tires. Going back to my old stand by Panaracer fire 2.4. Was really hoping tubeless would be cool. Ended up a bad trip.

from Denver, CO Date Reviewed: June 2, 2011 Strengths: Outrageously fast-rolling tire. I am currently running the 2.25 as a rear with a 2.4 Ardent on the front. I couldn't be more pleased with the setup. The tread holds well during climbs and is surprisingly grippy in the loose-over-hard conditions that dominate nearly every trail in the front range. Weaknesses: None as of yet.

from Colorado Springs, CO USA Date Reviewed: June 17, 2010 Strengths: This tire really corners well in the loose sand and rock for not having much tread. The crossmark additionally rolls like a champ, feels like a road tire sometimes. I purchased these tires specifically to use in the Leadville 100 because of the rolling resistance and the conditions I will be racing. After taking them out a few times I feel like I could use them on many trails in Colorado. Weaknesses: Tire selection is all about where you are riding. These tires are obviously not designed for the porcupine trail in MOAB. They don't love the really deep sand and I don't know how they will hold up in wet conditions yet?

a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: June 6, 2010 Strengths: Rolls fast, light for a UST. Much more traction than I would expect from a CC race tire. For the past 5 weeks, I have been riding a lot of rocky terrain in Northern Colorado with the Crossmark in the rear and a Mountain King in front. The Crossmark worked great and did not show damage due to rock cuts and rock impacts. Weaknesses: None utill I developed bubbles in the tread. This occured about 6 weeks after adding Stan's sealant so I don't know if the fault was the tire or the sealant. The tire had lots of tread left, I put in a tube and finished the ride. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: Lots Bike Setup: Cannondale Rush 2. Conti mountain king on front and crossmark in rear - both with Stan's
