Despite the raves about its cornering, doesn't its "squared off" profile cause its cornering to be touchier, less predictable?

Originally I had a Maxxis crossmark tire on the front of my Santa Cruz Superlight I purchased the Maxxis Ardent because of the width, wanted more bite in the front end. I think it's more predictable and has a much better bite and is more confidence aspiring. perhaps in extremely hard terrain it may be a little more skittish it works fine in medium and soft soils for me, we ride mostly in medium soil to almost sand. It's a great tire for that, sorry I can't offer you more info as I just haven't been in hard surfaces. Ride On.....

I've never experienced anything but great traction. It's always been predictable for me in dry rocky conditions

IMHO it corners better than any tire I've ever had except for maybe a Minion DH. I ride mostly hardpack with some rocks and roots, and usually dry conditions. I consider it an excellent front tire and an average rear tire.

Nope, it's raved about it's cornering for it's cornering....;) honestly though I love this tire, so far a favorite.

It can be turned to face whatever direction you need but I would not say it "spins".

It has a little grip on the corners and can be a little slick on the backside. Its okay. Surprisingly it never fell off my hands at work, especially when i work as a auto tech. Its worth every penny.

It pretty much goes straight. It does turn slightly, but not enough to do small circles.

It does, but its designed for 24 inches. Wider will decrease your turning radius.

It does come up around the long edges but not the short edges, other than the very corners.

It does not have square corners the corners are rounded but it's more of a rectangular with the rounded edge instead of point square

To an extent. It brakes but not evenly. There's a slight wobble when braking.

I don't think so, those are rounded right? These are better. They dont ruin the look of thinks and are flexible for imperfect corners.

pretty much, the black it has an oval shape to it, but not much of a curvature....

No, it cannot turn corners. Does fine on straight runs when leaves and debris is dry. Not so godd when leaves are wet and compacted.

No its pretty uniform in its weight throughout, it definitely does roll anywhere kitty hits it. It does tend to swivel though so that it doesn't travel far. Gives the car a chance to catch it before going under anything.

I believe so. It's got a very rounded edge and it flared out just a bit, so that if it does touch the face it won't be to jarring.

Hi Edwin, it seems to be slightly convex but you don't notice it. It's a great mirror.

It looks round but when you install it, as you push down it actully is not true round. It shapes out a little. That what i notice on my force motor.To answer it is more rectangular, than round.If that makes sense.

Not precisely. It lacks the middle piece, but it should be able to get close.

I haven't tested it on curved surface. My dash is slanted and it grips it like a welder's hand.
