Mountain tires issue

Post by James5985 »

As we all know, for every condition, type of terrain and trail, there’s a special tyre.
So I decided to refresh mine.
does anyone have mountain tires by Maxxis?

What's the difference between the folding 70a or 62a?

Hi

The difference is in the grip.
The 62aa will be softer in compound and provide a lot more grip in muddy and slipperyy conditions.
The only problem is that they wear faster.
The 70a is harder and lasts longer, but doesn't provide the grip.

Cheers
