    What should I use for tire for my Maxim X.
    I know the size but which ones. Mostle used for driving around country roads and in town.
    Can I use the 140 for the back? I will only have a single seat and never plan to have someone in the back.
    What about a good site to buy them from?

    The 140 will not fit as far as I am aware of. Stock size is max. I just bought a set of Kenda K671 Cruisers. Haven't had much of a chance to drive on them, but they look good and the price was right - $119.00 shipped to my door for the pair. Cost me $30 to get them mounted, and $2 to dispose of my old tires.

    Pirelli Sport Demon tires have been working great on the Maxim for me. They provide very good handling and braking.

    That one got me to..I was going to go with a fatter tire untill I looked at the shaft.

    There is no way I could get a fatter tire on there..what a drag...

    I was wanting to fatten it up in the worse kinda way.
