Is Maxxis' new MaxxSpeed compound really faster?

A big part of racing is making sure you're using the right gear, and we’re always asking questions and testing new equipment to make sure we're using the best gear available. Today, we’re going to be running our own little experiment, comparing Maxxis’s new MaxxSpeed compound to the exact same tires of the old compound. We already know we like these tires for their improved wet weather traction, but do they really roll faster like Maxxis says? And if so, how much faster?
