Maxxis Wide Trail XC tires are optimized for use with 30mm internal width rims, but they will perform well on rims as narrow as 25mm. WT tires are optimized for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider’s preference. Traditional tires are designed around older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tire profile, leading to less than optimal performance. Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions. Maxxis’ 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound configuration used across our mountain tire line. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. Be sure to check your sealant regularly and refresh as needed as it will dry out over time. Liquid sealants have the added benefit of sealing small punctures. Tubeless ready tires must be mounted to tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Tubeless ready tires are denoted by the letters “TR” on the sidewall. Tubeless ready tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire and less chance of flatting because there is no tube.
