Oh I’ve had tyres previously that were completely unusable due to the wobble. Pretty sure that I even warrantied one like 15 years back.A slight wobble is standard on Maxxis, you will know the real Maxxis wobble when it happens

Having now had 2 rides on the Vigilante, definitely a fan. The conditions have been pretty mint at the You Yangs, so grip hasn't been an issue. The judge it replaced was excellent, but so bloody heavy.Vigilante is a great front tyre
Ive never used the judge as a front ,so cant comment on it in that use , Ive always thought of it as an Enduro Rear , interesting though ,Having now had 2 rides on the Vigilante, definitely a fan.

Hopefully the vigilante is still great in the You Yangs anti-grip of summer.
So now that the divorce has come through, what are your go-tos for sexy rubber rolling inflatable companions?Firmly agree on both points !
I do not like Assegai's and have no confidence in them when cornering.
General ? Spend $70 on a tyre just for it to blow out of shape, wobble or bunion.
Maxxis are overated tyres, plenty of other great tyres out there that are streaks ahead IMO.
I have went back to Maxxis numerous times, the divorce is final this time
Vittorias on all bikes now. I did pick up some €11 Schwalbes for my adventure bike and they are bloody awesome, especially for the price.So now that the divorce has come through, what are your go-tos for sexy rubber rolling inflatable companions?
I tried the judge as a front because I was running a DHR2 on the front and it was good and the judge is a burlier version of the minion. I just wish it was a few hundred grams lighter that the 1400g that it is hahaIve never used the judge as a front ,so cant comment on it in that use , Ive always thought of it as an Enduro Rear , interesting though ,
The Verdict is an even grippier front tyre than the Vigilante if you are looking for a bit more
Where did you get it from ?I've just put an Agarro on the rear, seems ok
Any puncture issues with the Mezcal? I had about 3 in the tread over 500km (plugged) but eventually couldn't be used tubeless anymore. A shame because those things have incredible wear for the grip on offer, thing looked immaculate when I took it off.Will also go Mezcals either end on my adventure bike for the next big trip... in the meantime, happy using these hurricanes for gravel and local scuffing around.
I only use them as a rear XC tyre for smooth dry races. No issues yet but not a lot of use either.Any puncture issues with the Mezcal?

I have to give a shout out to the Hutchinson Kraken and Skeleton which you can get from ride sports for $50 and $30 respectively at the moment. I'm not sure they are are quite as fast / good as the Mezcal but they are tough for the weight. Cheap as.
I got it direct from the distributor GKA Sports. They have a great deal if you sign up to their newsletter too, 20% off.Where did you get it from ?

I've pinch flatted two Krakens in the last few months but the Griffus is going strong. Bought the Krakens a few months ago ago with a few other bits and pieces and no problems with delivery. No contact at all till they showed up but they did show up.@slimjim1
Re Ride Sports: Have you bought from them recently? I've been tempted by their Hutchinson tyres but was put off by the many stories of them failing to deliver.

I can't speak for MM, but I'm loving the Dissectors on my bike right now. I've got them on front and rear wheels, mainly because I'm lazy and they are what came on the bike, but they work for me so I'm not changing them for the sake of change.Ive got Schwalbe manic mary on the front and maxis dissector on the rear.. does this sound like a reasonable combination?
Im sure it helps being 4'6" and weigh 38kgs with pedals!....sticks like chewy to a blanketI can't speak for MM, but I'm loving the Dissectors on my bike right now.

I've just inherited a nearly new WTB Vigilante 2.5 (Light / High Grip) and Trail Boss 2.4 (Tough / Fast Rolling) for helping someone out with their bike. I'm very tempted to try these out!Having now had 2 rides on the Vigilante, definitely a fan. The conditions have been pretty mint at the You Yangs, so grip hasn't been an issue.
