    Looking for new tires as I feel like the stock tires are to narrow for all the Sandy soil and sugar sand we ride in NJ

    Always liked the mt16 on my kdx but wondering if it's to heavy for this little motor.

    Anyone riding one??

    I use a 110 MT16, the 120 is a good bit larger.

    Why not an X30? $75 for a 110/100, should work well, modern and lighter compound. Rode with my ex racing bud and Yammi 2T freak awhile back and he was running all Bridgestones. His YZ280 had M102/101 set which absolutely ripped in the SC single track, sand and mud, he said they wouldn't last on anything hard though. His YZ125 had M204/M59 which also was a great combo for soft terrain.
    Did a bunch of tire spec comparison while trimming the fat on my current XR. Bridgestone, Perelli and Metzeler current tires were consistently lighter. I didn't include Dunlops because of price, but would expect their current tires to be equally lighter. Old compounds and tread style weighed 2-4 lbs more in most cases and Kenda was heavier in general by about the same amount.

    No sand to speak of around here. Me and said bud used to do a couple of sand races in N FLA and both loved the M5B at the time, but it's a pretty heavy tire. Look forward to hearing what you decide and how it works.

    what about pirelli mx32? Ive tried a few differnt tires in past and the 110/90 mx32 has been my favorite. On second set of many pirelli's in my future.
