Maxxis CrossMark 70a 29er Tire

Absolutely brilliant rear tire. I have 1000 miles on these total now. Almost never have the tire lose grip on even steep lose climbs, and have never lost traction in corners. That said, it's not great up front. Also, never had a Maxxis tire flat running tubeless either.

Pros: Light, solid grip, nice!

Cons: Not as light as an IKON, not good up front

Maxxis crossmark 29er

These are the best tires so far from Maxxis that I have used on the AZ loose over hardpack. They grip like a vise and were super easy to set up tubless with yellow tape and valves.

Pros: work great on the AZ soil, loose and hard pack

Cons: cost

Fast rolling, long wear tire. Sidewalls are a little weak, it's got good volume and decent weight. Has way more grip then it looks like it should, does good in all conditions. One of my favorite tires.

Pros: Grip, $$, rolling resistance, long wear

Cons: Weak sidewalls
