Mike Melton reviews the Gripmaxx XT tire, an aggressive off-road option with good balance and quiet shoulders. It lacks a mileage warranty, so rotate every 5,000 miles. The siphon channels deliver solid dirt grip but sacrifice wet-road traction compared to all-terrain tires.
Let's talk about this new Grip Max XT tire. Now, Grip Max is a new tire that we took on. Now, so far they've been pretty good. They always balance out pretty good, too. Now, as far as how long they last, we don't know. They don't put a mileage warranty on these things, but just keep your tires rotated every 5,000. So the reason I can't tell you how long they're last because I don't know what kind of driving you do. That's got a decent aggressive little sidewall on there, if you like that. Now, the shoulders right here are pretty close. So this is a quiet tire to be an xt. Now, we're not talking about highway tread quiet, we're talking about quiet for an XT tire. Now, it does have siphon throughout the tread blocks, but it's not going to get as good of wet traction as like, say an all terrain tire. But if you want a little bit more aggressive tire like this one, you're going to sacrifice a little bit which is going to be that wet traction. Now we don't. But you can't pick these up from us. So if you want to set, give us a call. 704-240-9075.
