Stacked official Word:
The Maxxis Grifters are a go-to choice for riders who want fast-rolling, durable BMX tires built for street, park, and big-wheel setups. Known for their smooth center tread and reinforced sidewalls, these maxxis bmx tires are designed to handle hard landings, fast rollouts, and daily abuse while maintaining low rolling resistance.

Available in multiple sizes, including classic BMX formats like bmx tire 20 x 2.125 and bmx tire 20 x 2.40, as well as larger options like 29 inch bmx tires and 29 inch tires bmx, Maxxis Grifters are versatile enough to work on traditional freestyle bikes or even bmx tires on a mountain bike conversion. Riders appreciate how predictable the tires feel at different bmx tire pressure settings, whether dialed low for grip or higher for speed.

The casing construction allows easy bmx tire installation and reliable sealing around common bike tire valve types, making them ideal for quick bike tire replacement or a full bicycle tire change. Whether you’re dealing with everyday riding or a full bmx tire change after heavy wear, Maxxis Grifters provide confidence and consistency.

Although best known in BMX, even riders coming from the fixed gear world—many of whom previously rode Panaracer setups—have praised Maxxis Grifters for their smooth rolling and durability.

One fixed gear rider who transitioned to a big-wheel BMX setup said the Grifters felt similar to high-quality bicycle tires used for street riding, especially in how they maintain speed without constant pedal input.

Another rider noted that after years of dealing with bicycle tire repair on thinner road tires, switching to Maxxis Grifters dramatically reduced flats and eliminated worries about sudden bmx tire explosion from curb drops or potholes.

Riders also mention how forgiving the Grifters feel during bike tire repair situations, holding air well even after minor punctures and maintaining stable bike tire pressure over long sessions.

Q: How do Maxxis Grifters compare to other BMX tires?

A: Compared to many maxxis bmx tyres and competing models, Maxxis Grifters stand out for smooth rolling, durability, and versatility across different bike setups.

Q: What size tire fits a 29" BMX bike?

A: If you want to figure out what size tire fits your 29" BMX Bike you have to look on the side wall of your tire. You will see a number similar to 29" X 2.4" and I will help you out understanding how to modify your bike. The first number is the diameter of the tire and the second number is the width of the tire. Most 29" bike use 2.10" wide tire but many have been putting 2.4" or 2.5" tires on stock bikes out of the box. It is best to replace your stock tire with the same width to make sure it will fit in the frame. If you have a stock tire and want to put a wider tire on it you have to look how much clearance you have between the tire and frame. Try different tires til you find which tire fits and you enjoy. 

Q: Can I run wider 29" BMX tires on my frame and fork? 

A: You are limited to the width tire the brand manufactured to fit in the frame or fork. Check the manufacturer part specs for correct size. From my experience you can use these general rule of thumb to get close the widest tire that can fit on your bike. Most show bikes use a 1.50-2.10" tire, most bikes designed for bike life bikes can usually run a 2.10-2.5" tire. 

Q: What are the best 29" BMX tires for cruising and pump tracks?

A: If you are looking for the best 29" tires for pump tracks or cruising you are in luck. Most tires nowadays have advance technology from tread patterns to rubber compounds.I would suggest selecting a tire that has a street tread for the fastest tire and the best grip. Try out as many as you can to find out what works for you the best.

Q: What are the best 29" BMX tires for dirt and trail riding?

A: If you are riding trails or dirt jumps you want to have a street style tire or a semi knobby tire. If the jumps are maintenance often you can use a street style tire because it will roll fast and grip on the packed dirt. If you are riding lightly maintenance trails you might want to use a semi knobby tire for better grip.

Q: Do tread patterns matter on 29" BMX tires?

A: If you are wondering if tread patterns assist your riding ability you will find out the bar has significantly raised. 29" BMX tires have advanced so much but you can tell with tires are better for their intended terrain. Street tires are smoother and dirt tires are knobby but most riders do not use knobby tires. Most trails or dirt jumps are maintenance often so street tires work the best at most dirt jumps. Skateparks are usually concrete so street tires work amazing on park as well. I high recommend a street tread style tires for any style of BMX riding you do because of BMX tire leading technology.   

 Q: How long do 29" BMX tires typically last?

A: If you are wondering how long a specific tire last I would suggest look at the thickness.  The thinner 29" BMX tires are the lightest weight tires but obviously wear out faster. If you have thicker tires they will last longer but it really all comes down to how much you use your tires. If you want light weight tires expect to replace them more often. If you run thinker tires expect to change them less often. Form my experience thinner/lighter/heavy use last 3-6 months, thinner/lighter/mild use last 6-12 months, Thicker/heavier/heavy use last 6-12 months, thicker/heavier/light use last 1-2 years.

Q: Are slick or semi-slick tires better for 29" BMX bikes?

A: If you have seen slick tires and wondered how they work on 29" BMX bikes and you would be surprised. During dry conditions they work amazing because they have a soft rubber for extra grip. If you go in dirt with gravel on top or water your traction will be compromised and I would suggest a street tread or semi knobby tire. 

Q: Will a 29" BMX tire fit on any 29" rim width?

A: If you have a 29" BMX tire you can fit it on any width rim except extra wide 3-5" wide rims. Most 29" BMX rims are 1.50 - 2.00" wide and you can install 1.25"-2.8" tires on them.

Q: Can 700c tire fit on a 29" rim?

A: If you think you seen a set of 700 x 40C tires on a 29" BMX bike you will not believe this. The width of a 38C on a 700 tire is about 1.5". This will vary if you have a narrow rim, a 38c tire may measure closer to 36–37mm. On a wider rim, it may measure 38–40mm.

Q: How do I install or change a 29" BMX tire properly?

A: Proper BMX tire change involves removing the old tire, inspecting the rim strip & tire, installing the tube evenly, and seating the bead correctly. Correct BMX tire installation prevents blowouts and wobbling.
