[Review] MAXXIS Miracle Tyre
   by Michael Hardman | 02 Mar 2006 12:26 pm

Call me a Maxxis tyre whore if you like but I’ve used every Maxxis tyre currently on the market and I won’t use anything else, which might just start to explain something about Maxis tyres in general.  Maxxis have been making tyres for a long time now and they have produced many great tyres for all sorts of riding but Id have to say the Miracle tyre comes up trumps as far as the best street tyre is concerned.

The tread pattern is unique with the straight grooved tread running the complete circumference f the Tyre .  This design allows rolling resistance to be kept at a minimum while not sacrificing grip.  When the tyre is contacting the ground at an angle or slammed into the ground the raised grooved tread is allowed to flex and partial take the shape of the surface it is in contact with greatly increasing the grip levels.  Weight wise these tyres are quite light at 640grams for one, which is something else to bare in mind if you are a weight whore or want to decrease rolling resistance.

The tyre is made from a 60a rubber compound like in all other Maxxis tyres and this simple means it is a very hard and durable rubber and as you guessed the tyre has lasted me a good five months now, though if you skid a lot it may probably not last as long.  The sidewalls are pretty dam strong and on my tyre after about three moths of riding did I notice damage to the sidewall but there has been no splitting of the sidewall or stitch work showing through after five months of riding.


Specs


  • Designed by Dave Mirra
  • Channelled tread design
  • Chose: 20”x1.85” or 20”x2.1”
  • 60a
  • 110 psi
  • Weight: 620g

  • £10-15
  • They are really easy to get on and off rims with a set of good tyre levers and on some occasions putting them on without any tools also works.

    Price wise I can’t fault them; £10 from the shop 2 minutes away from me is an extremely good price for such a well designed and long lasting and performing tyre.
