Review of Maxxis UST downhill tires at asilvertouch
asilvertouch zine has a solid review of the new Maxxis UST downhill tires. The review touches on a lot of the things that people experience when first running tubeless tires on their bikes (like burping and imperfect tire seating) and gives some worthwhile troubleshooting advice on how to get around these issues.
Although I haven’t run Maxxis tires for a couple of years, I have a couple of friends who swear by the High Roller and the Minion. And as the new Maxxis downhill tires continue to receive accolades from consumers and reviewers, it’s likely that they’ll keep the other ‘biggies’ (including companies like Michelin and Kenda) on their toes and push others to develop a wider range of high-performance tubeless tires.
