Maxxis bias tyre poll for more sizes.

Post by SIM79 »

Who here wants the Maxxis bias tyres available in more sizes?

Post up the extra sizes you want.

No I don't represent Maxxis, I am just a 4wheeler that likes the Maxxis tyres but wants more sizes available. If enough people vote I will send the poll results to the Maxxis head office.

I'm not being negative but do you have any idea how many signatures you'd need to make a difference, or how much it would cost Maxxis to make them in different sizes?

Unfortunately these kind of posts tend to get a life of their own and the next thing people will be expecting new sizes and bagging Maxxis when they're not produced.

Look at what happened with the 42"SX thread on Pirate.

I would sell my pedes in a heartbeat for some (true to size) 32X11.5X15 bias trepadors.

Look - don't get me wrong, I'd love to see some 35X10X16 Treps, no question, but I just doubt how much influence we can wield. Unfortunately, saying you'd love to see something isn't the same as spending the money on them.

The sizes/compounds of Maxxis larger tyres are driven by comp classes, and I'd guess they're a bit of a loss leader.

Maxxis are quite responsive though- they have an amazing range of uber-specialised MTB tyres - but car tyres are a mich biggr investment.

It would depend how competitive a price they were, and what sizes would you bring in?
33 and 35, 285 and 315's??
15/16/17 in rim sizes??
Thats a whole lot of $$$ to invest to bring in 10 sets of all sizes in the country.. and if some dont sell...

Theres a chit load of tires out there now.

Having said that, in those sizes I think they would do well. But agree, 100 votes on a forum wont do shit.

there are other sizes that are already made that do not get bought into the country. Maybe if there is some interest in those sizes the importers may look into bringing them in.
