i voted for maxxis tyres based on some reports i had read and feedback from other riders who have tested them, also due to the fact that , like Pirelli, they were willing to certify the tyre safe for the uses that we have in mind for the tyre and also it seems to have good longevity when used in race conditions. the fact that they have also indicated that prices would be more competitive and that they would support the series to a greater extent than the current supplier.
a win win situation if ever i saw one!!
