Maxxis Swampthing DH Tyre - Single Ply
The Maxxis Swampthing is a popular wet conditions tyre without being a full-on spike like the Wet Scream.
This single ply variety is lighter weight making it more suitable for XC/trail use.
Available in two different compounds.
The 42A compound is sofer to give the best possible grip. The 60A compound is a bit harder for longer life. For out and out performance go with the 42As, but use 60As if you want a set you can leave on your bike all year. As the front tyre wears less than the rear, putting a 42A on the front and a 60A on the back is a good choice.
Swampthings are not front/rear specific and are usually run as a pair.
Dual-ply versions of this tyre are listed seperately which are more suitable for DH.
Tubeless (UST) versions are listed seperately.
