    wide rear. I like the Michellins. Gotta have a "paddle" in the middle where I ride.

    Reading all this information, sounds like most of the tips come from ridiers who ride back east or up north where there is a lot of loam and mud. I agree that the 120 performs horribly in soft conditions, but works really well on tight trails and over rocky, technical terrain. Since that is the type of terrain I ride most of the time, I like the skinnier rear tire and have been using DOT tires like the Dunlop 606 on the back, because I do a lot of dual sporting and I need the tire to get decent mileage. If I did more pure desert riding, I would pick the wider tire, too.
