Have knocked back decent enough bikes wearin the Maxxis label tho..I've had plenty of Maxxis tyres, nowt wrong with 'em. Got Diamonds on my FZ1, and they're great!! Had Supermax on two of my Fazer 600's, and kept up with the Litre boys on a ride out on the twisties. I got 5 thou average out of a rear Supermax's, 1/2 that from the FZ1 on Diamonds.
I suppose it's a matter of taste, but I can't believe people knock such an underrated brand of tyre just because it's cheap!
