Hey,
Does anyone know the duometer of MaxxSpeed Vs TR /EXO (Maxxis' dual compound, which I think is 60a edges/70a centre)?
I've got both types of tyre here, but it feels like the TR EXO is softer, which isn't what I'd expect. I was expecting MaxxSpeed to be essentially TR EXO but with softer side knobs and softer base.
Anyone got any info or views?
Google Bard just confuses things by saying TR EXO is 60 and MS is 70, and then concluding that MS is softer and more grippy. Lol.
STW must still be better than AI!
Is TR not tubeless ready and exo the sidewall construction?
Maxx terra should be slightly grippier than maxx speed. Not sure where dual compound fits in
I thought maxx speed, maxx terra and maxx grip were all compound variations of 3C. Cheaper tyres use the dual compound.
However, I think they vary the compound between tyres of the same 3C name so a maxx terra forekaster will have a different compound from a maxx terra shorty.
I think.
I’m pretty sure you can get a non 3c maxterra too.
Yes, all of that is true.
Maxxis hasn't actually branded or named their dual compound tyres, so they're just referred to as EXO/TR by distributors or shops.
MaxxSpeed is faster rolling than MaxxTerra is faster rolling than MaxxGrip is faster rolling than SuperTacky.
MaxxSpeed is rumoured to not be 3 compounds, even though it's 3c branded.
What I can't find out anywhere is if MaxxSpeed has harder compounds than TR/EXO. They're going to be around the 60 mark, but it feels like a secret
