Haven't ran Maxxis, but can verify Millville is a good tire, if you are referring to the Kenda tire named that. I also have ran the Carlsbad and Washougal. The Washougal was a sub for my Carlsbad and I like it even better. Very good hook up and very wear resistant. The pirelli 's that I really like is the MT 44. It has a scoop in the center, that makes it a directional tread, but real good traction especially when new. I put my money on the Kenda on wear and it also is much cheaper.
