I have used detonators with great success. Excellent tire that is able to stand up to the punishing roads of Oahu. Tires before suffered from punctures everyday.

I do not recommend the white sidewall. I pumped it up to 120 psi and possibly had too much stuff in my backpack. I commute to work. First use and first tire to blow a sidewall on me. Scared the heck out of the people next to me in an amazing explosion. I was able to laugh about it later.

I am still ordering these tires but i am sticking to the regular sidewall and the newer versions of these tires. I give the tire 1 star because of the experience, but would rate the detonators 5 stars.

I have about 1k miles on the tires and have no complaints. they seem to hold up nicely on pretty beaten roads I ride. Minimal flats; I think I have only had 2-3 since switching. (Normally >8 flats/1k mile) The rear tire has just began to show any significant signs of wear.

Honest reviews on Maxxis Detonator 28" Road Bike Tyre 28 Zoll, Kevlar white/black

These tires were stock on my hybrid bike. They ride okay, are fairly smooth and fast, and still provide the necessary grip to bestow confidence in just about all situations (except snow and ice, of course). In the three months that I had these tires on my bike, I had numerous flats even though I ride on designated and well-maintained bike paths. I average about 120-150 miles a week and with the Detonators, it seemed that almost not a single week went by without a flat.

Last week, I went on a 25 mile ride and incurred two flats on the same ride. That was my breaking point and I finally purchased a different set of tires. The Detonators are quite annoying if you dislike having flats in the middle of nowhere several times a month.

Got some Maxxis detonators March 2010. I have about 1200-1300 miles on a set and they pooped out on me. I ride about 150-200 miles/week I've been cycling since I was 11 (did RAGBRAI on an old schwinn crisscross) and while I am not a certified mechanic, I know a fair amount about equipment. My LBS suggested these tires to me when in a pinch for some new ones. They did ok, but I have burned through a couple of patch kits. Right out of the gate I was getting flats. The latest nightmare happened while on my first 300 km brevet this past weekend. 5 flats. That really hurt considering I was trying to just finish, let alone stop and fix flats.

Either way, I'm going a different direction with my tires. The colors were fun and entertaining, the tires look good and perform well on smooth, debris free roads (what tire doesn't, and what road is free of debris?). But, I am going the way of practicality from now on and ordered me up some marathon +'s. I can't fix a flat every couple hundred miles, despite getting really good at changing tubes with these tires.
