Any difference between the white and yellow labels on Maxxis tyres?
Or is it simply to increase SKUs?
Bro, Brah, Bruh
White and Yellow Maxxis tyres?
An article about Maxxis tire lettering at link. TL:dr - They are the same.
The white ones lean really well against trees. The yellow ones prefer thirsty beavers.
^ This makes the most sense for my lizard brain
AFAIK white lettering indicates OEM or take-offs, otherwise no difference. I have received white lettering on tires bought from a reputable online store. Could be OEM overstock?
yellow matches my santa cruz lettering and looks nice on the lavender paintjob,
I liked the Assegai/ Minion that came on the bike so I ordered the exact same tires from MEC & CRC
as oposed to buying some brand I would then be comparing to the maxxis for the next year
and everthing was exactly the same, $$$ for great tires that went on so easy

No no no. Niels is correct, final answer.

Sending out white lettering OEM for a retail purchase might not be ok with Maxxis but man the margin for that online retailer has gotta be stellar.
I used to work for a distributor, the out-the-back-door grey market deals could get ridiculous. I once bought a batch of name brand OEM BMX tires for $3 a pop.
