Wetscream 3C/MaxxGrip/DH/TR 29in Tire

The Maxxis Wetscream tire is specifically designed with a tread pattern and rubber compound that enhances grip and traction in slippery environments. Its unique design allows for better water displacement, preventing hydroplaning and ensuring stability during downhill racing in challenging weather.

The 3C MaxxGrip compound consists of three different rubber materials that work together to provide superior grip and traction. This multi-compound design allows the tire to perform exceptionally well on wet surfaces while maintaining durability, making it perfect for aggressive downhill riding.

The Wetscream tire has a TPI of 60, which strikes a balance between flexibility and durability. A higher TPI means the tire is lighter and can conform better to the terrain, improving ride quality and handling. This is particularly beneficial for downhill riders who need responsive tires that can adapt to various surfaces.

The Maxxis Wetscream tire has a maximum PSI of 50. It's crucial to adhere to this recommendation to ensure optimal performance and safety. Proper inflation helps maintain tire shape, improves traction, and reduces the risk of pinch flats, especially when riding on rough terrain.

The folding bead design allows the Wetscream tire to be easily folded for storage and transport, making it more convenient for cyclists. Folding tires are typically lighter and can be easier to install, which is beneficial for riders who frequently change tires or travel with their bikes.

While the Maxxis Wetscream tire is optimized for downhill racing in wet and muddy conditions, it can also be used for other types of mountain biking where grip and traction are essential. However, for optimal performance, it's best suited for aggressive downhill trails and conditions where maximum grip is required.
