Maxxis Dual Sport

Thought i would test these out, Maxxis are not so cheap anymore apparently, the rear looks the part but the front looks weak and the rubber has an odd texture/look to it.
Hit the tarmac in the dry and seem ok, only very slight weave @ 85mph on motorways so good, did some muddy slippery trails and bomb holes and they do slide a fair bit.
To be fair i have only run full road pressures so next outing i will drop to offroad psi and see if things improve offroad, i hope they last well to justify the price

My mate is a maxxis dealer and was looking at these today. get some more dirt riding done and come back with some more reports please .
Dont drop the pressures below 20-22 or you may have compression punctures, took me a couple of flats to find out the lowest i would trust
