    I am going to carry Motoz in my shop and especially interested in the Mountain Hybrid.
    What other Motoz tires front and rear would work well in Eastern conditions? Example: Mud, roots, rocks, ruts...

    I will probably also do Golden Tyre, but that will be a question for another day.

    I guess Motoz is out of favor and no one has an opinion.

    Maybe Joe Chod will weigh in, he uses Motoz. I'm a Kenda user, but if I switch, it would be to Golden Tyre.

    I like the Terrapactor front and rear but they will chunk if ridden in sharp rocks continuously. The Tractionator IT rear is fairly good all around. I haven't used the st. The X-Circuit is an interesting tire. In smaller sizes it has a very pronounced radius. The larger sizes work really well, don't chunk, and last a long time on big bores.

    I still think the Golden Tire Front is the go to tire.

    I'm in Oz and only used their early Tractionator. (About 5yrs ago)
    I haven't gone back for another look, it would not wear out and so, did not grip.
    I'm told the newer ones are better.....

    Thanks guys, I am going to order some of the new Mountain Hybrid tires to try and was just wondering if any of the others were worth giving a go.

    The terrapactor S/T front is my all time favorite tire, it rules in all conditions here in the PNW. I have used it on all my bikes and it holds up well. The rear has great traction and a nice progressive slide but like Walt says it chunks pretty good in rocky conditions.

    I like the tractionator I/T front. Good mileage and all terrain performance.

    i've tried them all and love them. For the dualsport riders who are more trail connecters than commuters, the new Moto Z DOT tires are some of the
    best off road tires you can buy that are street legal. Had the ST Enduro rear on my 511 forever with over 50% tread when I recently sold it. I agree with jmetteer, the Terrapactor front has
    been very good in just about everything.

    Iv'e ran 2 different Motoz tires and had less than expected results. I ran an Enduro IT front and a XCircuit rear. The front was OKish but a bit squirmy and the XCircuit wore out really fast and was not good on anything wet, especially off camber wet trails. It put me on my Butt a few times.
    I now am running the GT 216AA front and a 130 Michelin Competition rear with very good results in everything.
