125-200cc opinions on rear maxxis maxxcross IT for wr144

Hello every-one, I'm wondering if any-body has experience with this tire in the 100/100-18 sizing. I ride a mixture of everything and am partial to the michelin s-12 but I have a chance to get a maxxis fairly cheap.Thanks in advance!.

Try the Pirelli MX Extra 100/100x18 .

I use that tire where we ride. One tough tire, great for rocks, crap in mud. I only use it on my 450 or 360. Its a HEAVY tire. Not sure a 125 would like it. I think it was 5 lbs heavier than the stock tire I replaced it with initially.

stick with the s12 xc.great upfront run a gritty on the rear.

Thanks for the input every-one, I think I will stick with the s-12 on the rear. I usually run m-12 front,s-12 rear on all my bikes and it works for me!

It's so heavy some guys run it with a tubliss and zero air pressure!

Lasts forever, but won't self clean mud for anything... Hardest tire in the world to spoon on too. Feels like 30 ply.

Try A Motoz !

I like the looks of them and I have heard good things about them especially on this forum. I would have to order them as no-one stocks them in my area. The s-12 is readily available and I know they work well.I was asking about the maxxis IT only because I could get one at half price..

I've been a M12 front / S12 rear guy forever now. Which Motoz would most closely match up with those? I'd try any tire once...

I love the motoz tires, awesome hookup in a variety of conditions/terrain. I race hare scrambles/cross country in BC, and ride 2x a week usually, and put a set on in March, still really good tread on them, they wear nicely and am amazed at the traction. I did a race last weekend in Bellingham, WA, (track,trail and endurocross), really muddy/greasy clay and a lot of bikes were stuck, and the race had a high DNF (did not finish) rate, but I swear the tires helped me. Good on the track, in sand, hill climbs, technical rocky/rooty trails. Can't beat the price, up here around $150 for a set of them. The ones I have were recommended on this forum by Kelly @ Motosportz, I think they are the terrapactor/tractionator ones.

Who or where did you buy them from? I am in the lower mainland area of B.C. and no-one stocks them. I could order them but I would like to see them first to decide which ones I want.

I have just ordered a set of motoz tractionator x-circuit tires! My local dealer said they used to stock them and no-body bought any so they ended up practically giving them away! I ordered them in the 100/100-18 and 80/100-21 sizes for my wr144 and the cost for both was around $170.00,pretty reasonable compared to a set of michelins. After I mount them I will give a report on how they work for me.!

Cool, yeah report back on how you find them The ones I have are the terrapactor s/t ones... not sure the difference. And they are a lot cheaper, I paid about $150 for both. Rivercity Cycle up here in Kamloops has them, and I think I heard International at the coast had them as well.

From what I have read, the terrapactors are more of a light-weight motocross tire and the tractionators are a heavier enduro type tire.Might be the reason for the price difference? I do know that many are happy using both of these tires. I might be riding up at greenstone this weekend,you are so lucky to have that area in your back yard!.

Greenstone is nice! Good variety with easier and gnarly trails, I ride there and at Inks Lake a lot... we have had a ton of rain up here lately, so trails are a bit greasy, but fun! enjoy the ride if you do go, and will be interesting to hear how the tractionator tires are

I wish I had the tractionators mounted up for this week-end but I had to order them and I probably won't see them for a while. It has been raining a lot here in the lower mainland too but it is improving now and I heard it will be in the 30's in kamloops this week-end. I guess dust will be on the menu!
