has anyone tested these maxxis surge tyres yet? eBay item number:271279943633 seem a very good price and my mitas have lost rubber some how

I have used other Maxxix tyres and they have been fine, but I'll let you take the lead on being our guinea pig on this one .

the mitas have served very well a great tyre but 82 pound for a set is appealing and there maxxis guess im the guinea pig then haha

Im gonna buy some at that price when ive got some spare cash, and i dont even venture off road!!

They gotta be half decent if theyre maxxis.

i got a few mm left on the rear to tear first then il be giving them a go unless the snow comes first then they will be needed no bad weathers getting in the way of me riding my crm

Hi, I have has a set of these on a Honda xr400, and the Maxsis it,s on the old Bultaco so can give a bit of a comparison. The quality is near as dam it the same, withe the Surge being a slightly harder rubber. It is a heaver tyre as the side walls are 4 ply instead of 2. This in my mind makes it better on the trail for avoiding punchers but takes a little of the flex away.
They do not grip the road so well at the start but do "bed in" after about 50 miles or so.

In summery Not bad a bit heavy but tough, not quite so much grip on harder surfaces as the Maxxis.

thanks for the feedback so for a cheap set they sound good then. I ended up getting a set of mitas again as there a beast of a tyre offroad, on road there pretty useless when wet all good fun though
