Guess a fair few will say nope but I ran them on a VFR VTEC and they were fine, only when pushed really hard did they start to complain...

No idea about these, the MCN review is ok.

Most 'cheap' tyres are just as grippy as their mainstream competitors, however they don't last anywhere near as long, but I've no idea about these.

I guess at that price they're worth a punt.

I took them to Germany many years ago on a 990 Superduke. Nothing wrong with them

Many years ago I was instructing alongside Niall McKenzie at Donington and they fitted some coloured Maxxis tyres for a giggle to his bike. I set off behind him and kept him in sight for nearly a lap. He was leaving big coloured lines everywhere and having a great time.


If they work for him, they'll be fine for you :)

Ones G Spec and the other is J Spec, mis-matched tyres, you're going to DIE!

Joking, I've no idea that that spec means on Maxxis.
