Maxxis Tyres

Anyone ever ran a set of these on their bike? www.oponeo.co.uk/moto-tyre/maxxis-m6011

Too late I've bought them lol

I've never tried Maxxis but they seem reasonably priced, hopefully you'll give a good review once fitted.

I've always used 'Maxxis' on the several sports bikes I've owned in past and I don't think you will be disappointed, however I've never used them on a cruiser.

My mate Steve has used Maxxis tyres on his Blade & his Hornets (600 & 900), and has always been pleased with them as the seem to offer good value for money, with decent grip and predictable secure handling.

That said there are more expensive tyres that will outperform them, and possibly outlast them, but we often debated this & concluded that unless you ride regularly in poor weather conditions, and that you don't ride like a quasi-road racer, then pound for pound, mile for mile, the Maxxis tyres are a competitive alternatives to 'big brands'.

Hope that might help. Yam

Put a rear on my 883 just before I sold it to save money. Performed  like the original Harley Dunlop and cheap as chips. I'd certainly buy again if I have a similar bike.

Mates in the trade rate them highly on a value basis

I have only ever heard great things about them, although never personally experienced them.

like to ask shadycowboy about maxis tyre is your tyres tubeless as I cant see this for tubed type tyre need a rear tyre myself and I got tubes

can any one tell me will the maxxis m6011 170/80/15 take a tube as I only see it listed as tube less on openeo site

I am not sure about that tyre but many people say you can fit tubes in tubeless tyres but don't believe them. Reason being is that tubless tyres will have slightly different edges on the rims and are often ribbed inside, that causes chaffing on the innertube, so it isn't reccomended

I have Tubes in my Tubeless White Walls, Like Crash says they do have a rougher inside, but not to a point you'll have any trouble, just use plenty of chalk on the tube 

in a bit of a quandary now I asked a local bike shop to quote me for a rear tyre tube type and he give me a price of 90 quid and the tyre was a maxxis m6011 so take it he was going to use old tube.off road at minute as got a screw in the bugger as well.can get this tyre online for 67quid  have  wheel off  trying  to get moly 60 to do shaft while its off. I tried  to get that seal using your link sim and the part no but came up a blank.thanks guys for your input shadycow boy has these tyres on but he dosnt seem to check his messages like to know if he has tubes in

Hey all, Haven't fitted them yet. For some reason I can not for the life of me find someone to fit them locally. Got quoted £20 a wheel and looks like I may have to do it.

Same as above. Tubeless tyres but gonna stick a new tube in. Anyone got any suggestions on brand?

I wouldn't fit them to any bike of mine just my personal choice. I'm sure there a good enough tyre though

UPDATE. 

Had a ride on these today, albeit a short one, but was very impressed. Stuck like Glue to the road. Highly recommended, so far.

Good news 

Good to read, a good tyre is the difference between death and life.

It honestly felt like a different bike

They look excellent, love WWW tyres. Your bikes looking fantastic.

Very nice! They really suit the bike

2 wheels Rolls Royce Silver Shadow!!!

Look good but that bag on the front will knock the paint off your guard in no time!!!

What an ace looking bike, one to be proud of for sure. Tyre's look really cool 

As Pete says, move that bag. The suspension goes up and down just below that point, When Mr I had a screen on his bike,  he somehow had the tool roll on top of the headlight. not sure how tho

Too late. lol. The previous owner had the bag down there. Knocked the paint off with the buckles so its now there to hide that. I hate it down being down there as well but until I can afford a new front fender it'll have to stay. Also I have the Amp for the speakers in it :)

Thats a shame but I  think they look good there anyway. Otherwise I wouldn't of originally put mine there.

Nice looking bike, tyres make the look so much better.

Didn't realise they did them as WWalls - do you mind me asking how much for the pair?
