Best For
Adventure Commuter
You're putting in the miles — daily commutes, occasional gravel shortcuts, and everything in between. You'd rather have a tire that resists punctures and stays predictable than one that wears out chasing the last degree of lean angle. The Ceros was built with you in mind.
Perfect Match
Sport-Touring Enthusiast
Weekend canyon runs plus a daily commute adds up fast. You want a tire that's engaging enough to stay fun through the twisties but durable enough to still have tread when Monday rolls around. The Ceros splits that difference well without breaking your budget.
Great Match
Track-Focused Rider
If track days are on your calendar and you're chasing maximum corner grip and thermal response, the Ceros isn't your tire. Its construction prioritizes longevity over outright lean-angle performance. Look at the AVON 3D Supersport for a compound dialed into that application.

Frequently Asked
At a relaxed, novice pace it'll manage, but the Ceros was never designed with circuit use as a priority. The durability-focused compound and deeper tread aren't optimized for heat cycling or maximum lean-angle grip. If track riding is a regular part of your life, a dedicated sport compound will serve you far better.
There's a slight trade-off — the reinforced carcass is noticeably stiffer than lighter sport-oriented tires. Most street riders accept that firmness without complaint because the payoff is real: stronger sidewalls, better puncture resistance, and added stability at speed. It's a durability-first build, and the ride reflects that honestly.
Community data puts the Ceros solidly above average for its segment — expect somewhere in the 6,000–8,000 mile range under typical street conditions, though your riding style and surface mix will influence that. The robust tread and reinforced construction are built to extend service life beyond what most sport tires offer.
We don't recommend it. Mixing tire brands creates mismatched handling characteristics that can catch you off guard under hard braking or in a tight corner. The Ceros is designed to perform as a front-and-rear set — keep it matched to get the predictable, balanced behavior Maxxis engineered into it.
The directional tread pattern moves water out of the contact patch effectively, and wet-weather confidence is solid for everyday street riding. It's not a dedicated wet-compound tire, so it won't match a premium hyper-sport in a downpour — but it handles SoCal winter rain and damp canyon mornings without drama. As always, standing water and oily pavement demand respect regardless of tire choice.
Maxxis offers the Ceros across seven sizes covering 12-, 14-, and 15-inch wheel diameters with widths from 9 to 11 inches. That range fits a solid cross-section of sport and adventure-oriented bikes. Before you order, double-check your owner's manual or the placard on your swingarm to confirm fitment and load rating compliance for your specific machine.
