The Maxxis M6029 Supermaxx is widely regarded as a high-value sport-touring tire that offers impressive dry-weather grip and predictable handling for the price point. While users consistently praise its confidence-inspiring performance on twisty roads, the consensus is tempered by reports of rapid tread wear and occasional concerns regarding long-term structural integrity.
What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews

Pros
- Excellent dry-weather traction and cornering grip

Cons
- Short tread life, particularly for commuters
- Reports of premature cracking on the tire sidewall/tread interface

Worth knowing

- The tire is frequently utilized for a mix of commuting and aggressive weekend riding, though heavy motorway use appears to accelerate center-tread wear.
