 FEROCIOUS!!!!!Jan 05, 2006
By Felix The CAT
MAXXIS HOOKWORM-FEROCIOUS!!!!
Ferocious of course, applies to Hookworm in any rim size.
One MONSTER tire. Monsterous in durability, apperance and SIZE!
THESE BABYS ARE W I D E !!!
Check your rear stays, fork and brake arms for proper tire clearance cuz when they say 2.5 they MEAN 2 and one half inches!
Make sure you are using a Ryno/BFR or similar heavy duty rim.
SUPER DUTY, long lasting tire. Rated for freeride/freestyle riding however SUPER commuter tire that resists glass and debris on the street.
SUPER COOL apperance! Big & bouncy!! like radials for your bike.
Please buy them from Amazon-nice people with first quality merchandise!!

 These tires are great!Jun 12, 2010
By T. Garrison

The tires are wonderful.
There are however a couple of inaccuracies in the product description, Maxxis has released the second generation of this tire, which has a durometer rating of 60 not 70, and the tire has a max pressure of 65psi, not 110psi. This is referencing the 26x2.5 MTB tire.

No More FlatsJun 15, 2008
By Scott Jorgensen
I got this tire because it is made with THICK rubber. I'm sick of flat tires and this is the solution to having less flats. This tire, combined with the Maxis inner tube, which I highly recommend since this tire is 2.5 inches thick, and a kevlar tire liner will make your tire as close to flat proof as you can get.

Maxxis Hookworm's Super VersatileOct 09, 2011
By Diltz
I'm a daily commuter in Seattle traveling directly through an industrial park. I also 6'4 weighing in at 253 pounds. So as you can probably imagine I run through a lot of rear tires, and finding one with the strength I can rely on without having to push a down hill tire in the city is a challenge. Found it. I coupled the Hookworm with a Maxxis Downhill tube, and knock on wood, have not had any issues at the 300 mile mark. Plus the weight and heavy stickiness up hill is easily forgotten when flying down hill. You have to be careful not to hang up the pedals on the pavement with grip of the side walls. Great in rain.
