    What's everyone use....

    The ground here is very hard clay base that gets extremely wet if not by rain but by creek crossings....

    I can get these for cheap so I'd like to use these if I can find something that works....

    I have Millville on my 14 te300 now...

    I'm ok with the front it's done nothing scary

    The rear gets good straight away traction under braking and acceleration but side traction is baaad

    Check out the "new tires" and "x30" threads in this same forum. I've got a Millville front but haven't tried it yet. Last year during the dry months I put a Parker DT on the rear of my wr300, worked great on the fire roads, but was so sketchy in the woods I had to replace it. Was planning to try a Millville II rear 120/100-18 next.
    I'm wanting to get by as cheaply as possible for practice and fun riding, but am suspicious of anything that's too cheap. A price point of @ $70 gets me Metzeler, IRC and even Maxxis in the sizes I like, so far.
    I see quite a few off-road pro's flying the Kenda flag, but wonder what they are actually running. Saw a good shot of DeLong recently and looks like Millville II front and rear.
    I'm very happy with Maxxis EN front and IRC VE33 rear at the moment.

    The Millville II rear is a little sketchy on off chamber I'm thinking washougal or triple sticky or even the trials cross over deal...

    Front was pretty good and didn't slide on diagonal roots and rocks

    They are a major sponsor for a few racing series and that's about all I know. Some of the really fast guys and pros use them, but they get free fresh ones every race and most of those guys could go fast on a bald used tire.
