yup......i am going to attempt to make the switch. i have tried all my resources to get one and since maxxis is apparently not selling motorcycle tires i broke down and ordered an avon storm. its crunch time before xdl and i love new tires soooooo i had to get one.

supposedly the storm compares to the supermaxx. hopefully i like it just as much.

is anyone else having a super hard time getting there hands on maxxis's????? i heard they were in some law suit and stopped selling motorcycle tires in the US

 

Starting the Fall of 2008, Maxxis brand motorcycle tires for street/highway use only will be very difficult to get, due to Maxxis' decision to quit producing motorcycle tires for street/highway use only, effective January 2009. Thank you.


email i got after tryin to get one and finding out it was on back order.

 

Man I can't believe Maxxis is out of the picture. I've been running them since early '04.

Good luck with the swap give us a review.

I recently tried out a set of shinkos because they were already on my bike and are near new and so far I like them about the same as the maxxis.

 

its crazy!!
i have never had this problem before from buying ANY part.
yeah.....cycle gear is on back order with them too.

 

the shinko 005 is a sticky tire that def has a rather long life and is sticky.

 

come to atl, there is a huge maxxis warehouse literally 5 mins. from my house.....we can break in together

 

**** i want in :YEAH :YEAH :YEAH

 

Youre not very sneaky you should've sent that in a pm

 

so thats why they're charging 200 for a maxxis rear on ebay...........maxxis decision=gay. they prolly spent a ton of $ for r and d only to drop it? weird....the lawsuit must have been serious.

 

exactly, **** pisses me off
the avon storm, through dealers, is even more expensive

 

yeah ***** gay, i just tried at the begining of last week and no go. i dont get it so im tryin this bridgestone 021. its worth a shot

 

**** i always just run whatever i can haha! half the time i can get lucky an get a nice sticky tire but mostly i get all the garbage you get for free..... ha

 

+1..before i was a broke *** stunter i ran pilot powers all the time...lol now its whatever 50% worn piece of rubber i get for free...but always the Pilot front, oh and +1 on the shinko's too..my boy runs them and loves them

 

I buy mine from here ($140):

yeah maxxis tires are very hard to get, i have to tell customers i cant get em, cause they will never be off bo.

i hope none of you pay retail for tires.....if you need tires get a hold of me cause i get really good deals.

 

i was getting maxxis's for $120
i am getting the storm for $140

 

i run em they're decent............long lasting...you can do donuts forever but it doesn't create too much smoke....some traction probs too, at least where i ride.

 

I've heard about those, but are they any good for the front?? I have a friend who just got one for the front and says its just as good as michelin pilot. Anybody knows for sure??

 

i wouldn't go that far . . . the shinko for a rear its a good tire ..there arent many tires out there as nice as the pilot powers.

 

**** i was getting maxxis tires at my last job for ****** 88 dollars then i got fired i almost cried about lossing that tire deal
