Starting 50 years ago making bicycle tires, Maxxis has since grown to make some top-rated tires. Since entering the U.S. automotive market in the 1980s, Maxxis tires have been committed to developing and road testing their products locally. Maxxis provides high-quality, high-performance tires backed by the latest technology and research. These tires are for drivers who want to conquer the road — or off-road — ahead of them.
If you’re looking to get a high-performance tire on a budget, Maxxis makes a popular choice for a reason. Maxxis looks toward innovation, including features like adaptive sidewalls, modified treads, or staggered lugs to help improve performance and comfort. With a wide range of options, Maxxis tires are designed to do the job, be it off-roading or a daily commute.
Maxxis offers tires in these categories: all-season, performance all season, touring all season, summer, performance summer, on/off-road, all terrain, all terrain/all season, and winter. As an all-around performance tire, Maxxis delivers on smooth driving, good traction, low noise, and solid comfort all seasons and all weather.
When looking at the lifespan of a Maxxis tire, compare the average treadwear of Maxxis tires against industry average across all brands. All tires have their treadwear numbers stamped on the side as a three-digit number, although sometimes it can be hard to find. This number refers to the expected life of a tire, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s uniform tire quality Grade (UTQG). A higher number indicates a longer lifespan, meaning a tire stamped 660 is expected to last twice as long as one stamped 330 under typical driving conditions.
