I currently run Maxxis Supermaxx.
Never again.
They were cheap, and they don't let me forget it either. The tyres feel boggy, they don't corner brilliantly. I've taken them to the edge of the rear, but it's a fight getting them there, they're too flat for my taste. Also, the rear will soon need replacing after only 4,400 miles. It'll need a change before I go back to France, so call it a life of 4,500 miles. Not brilliant by any standard. And that's 4,500 of reasonably careful riding: very rare and very short skids, and no burnouts at all.
In the wet, they've never filled me with confidence, and today, they've been god-awful. Nearly went into the back of van because I didn't really want to brake (no trust in 'em). Looking forward to getting new tyres!!
