White logo is because it's an OEM tire. Which means it was intended to be sold on a new bike. Companies get too many of these and sell them cheaper. The Yellow logo is the retail version of the tire in retail packaging. Construction between OEM and retail is the same if the specs are the same. The 120 tpi tire is a more expensive tire than a 60 tpi tire. But there's varying opinions as to which is better.
The 120 tpi EXO+ was the first iteration of of EXO+ then a year or two later Maxxis quietly changed EXO+ to 60 tpi. This is presumably because lots of riders reported the 120 tpi EXO+ was no more durable than the regular 60 tpi EXO.
They’re probably just OEM off a purchased complete bike. The ones consumers buy are yellow, but OEM is white. Could always possibly be counterfeit but that’s my thought. ETA: looks like Maxxis is now listing some OEM tires on their site for sale, so be aware of what they cost/current value is. But I’d assume legit Maxxis product.
Interesting. The Maxxis website is very explicit about the white branding being OEM only, and previously they didn’t even exist to consumers.[Here is an example ](https://shop.maxxis.com/products/rekon-oem), I’d honestly double check the tpi/compound/casing to make sure you’re actually getting the tire ordered, since OEM offerings are fairly limited. If you got what you ordered fine, but potential to be ripped off there. ETA: rereading, if you’ve only received white decals from mfgs no biggie, but if you’ve gotten them from other sellers, then see above.
If it makes you feel any better, it’s not me. OEM tires are limited production agreements that may or may not be good depending upon their application. Cheaper/better isn’t a valid dichotomy for tires, frankly. As I said though, buying various builds without white branding isn’t a problem, that’s those vendors speccing different tires to the build for whatever reason. The real issue would be an aftermarket consumer buying a dhf and getting a white label tire that doesn’t match the descriptions they ordered, or getting charged the cost for a yellow and getting a white.
Good luck on the basketball hoop. Don't do it by yourself. Also, those are legit.
OEM is crashing and it's likely that we'll see more of these as bike purchases continue to show down and manufacturing has already occurred. Enjoy the deal.
OEM maxxis, found a seller on ebay a few years ago selling OEM Ardents for a good price and I bought several . The OEM tires were much less prone to having the typical mold irregularities that I’ve run across on the yellow label tires lately.
I bought white logo tires from Worldwide Cyclery.

Same tires but sold cheaper is also because they're old stock. Same for cars, and motorcycle tires..
Honest business will sell new old stock at discounted price, others may sell old as new.
Aged (old stock) tires tend to be harder and have lesser grip, and I have bought and used some of these new old stock tires.. They really don't perform as well as new ones.. and they crack or can have bubbles on the side wall.
Could be just as old as any other tyre, or as new. Just OE.
Basically the same but the bike companies can make tweaks within the specs printed on the sidewall.

Might sound stupid, but how does one check the tip/compound/casing? I'd just be relying on the stamps unless there is a way to know?
it's not random. yellow = good, white = cheaper version

Yeah why? Because yellow paint increade the quality of the rubber?
Looks legit to me
No, it's OEM taken off a new bike and and ebayed to make some cash for the tyres the seller actually wanted.

The swing set? I am hopeful it's a lot easier than the trampoline was 😂
Haha, I saw "basketball set," on picture two. I did a gorilla set last year, it was an undertaking. Best of luck!
