    Any recomendations? I tend to overthink my choices but i am looking for a new rear at least for my 09 CR125/44. I ride pac northwest intermediate soil. Soft and deep in the morning and turns hard as a rock and slick in the afternoon as the clay sets up.

    I switched last year from Michelin S-12s over to the Pirelli's. The front doesn't "push" as much and the rear wears much better with the same traction. (Atlanta, Georgia)

    Motoz... if you can get them...

    I would test out them Pirelli's if I were you. Sounds like a good tire.

    Pirelli scorpion mid soft is pretty much the only sets we run but we only run motocross.

    Sorry Dwight, that 18 would be tough to get on my CR wheel :) Smoke, you run the 32? Jhunter, which pirelli's? The scorpion mid soft is the stock tire that came on my CR i think. GOod tire but has gotten slick lately with the heat and dry track conditions. I am leaning towards the MX extra cause i hear its light, old guys like me need all the help we can get on little bikes.

    PC, you mean 403/404?

    I've ran Pirelli tires since the early 90's. On my CR 144 and TC 450 I run the MX Extra on the rear and the Fim Scorpion Pro on the front, it's pretty similar to the Mid/Soft but seems to be more versatile and better on intermediate/hard terrain. The nice thing about 125's/144's is that they are so much easier on tires than a big bike. Pirelli's hold up well and work great at any of the Northwest tracks. I run this combo everywhere.

    you guys are going to think im silly but i think different tires work better on some bikes than others, we hated the M403/404 combo so much we took them off 3 new bikes last season, but ive read alot of reports of people really liking the tires. i know the pirellis are working great for us on the Husky. i also really like the dunlop mx51 rear but they are so stiff and hard to install i quit buying them, pirellis fall right on the rim compared to the mx51's
