    What size do you recommend for newer WR 250's? 120 x 18 or 130 x 18 in motoz?

    They just are not very easy to get here... I want something I can drive and get.... If I chunk a knob, slice one or get a thorn I don't want to run something else....

    110 or 120. The 130 are big would be better for big 4 strokes.

    The Terrapactors are the PERFECT tire for the 125/144/165 IMHO the 19" works great.

    Michelin m12 front and s12 rear works for me on all my bikes and all conditions! Those terrapactors look good though:thumbsup:

    I run the S12 rear, matched with an MH3 front as my default choice.
    I prefer the feel of the MH3 over the M12, particularly when the edges are gone. In theory, the MH3 could be more prone to flats (particularly pinch flats) but I don't seem to have a problem with flats regardless of the tyre.

    The S12 front is at its best on a well prepared MX track - dirt that has enough give for the knobs to bites into, but is still firm enough to support them. I prefer a fresh MH3 in sand and mud (worn, they're about equal IMHO). There is a school of thought that says the S12s only tear knobs when the suspension is too stiff and/or they're over-inflated. I can't really comment, but it does fit with my experiences.

    The S12 rear is the best combination of performance and longevity I've found. They actually survive sharp rocks remarkably well - rocks seem to cut the knobs, rather than wearing them or tearing them off.

    Never been a fan of any of the Motoz tyres, esp in the wet.

    As for size, I'm a firm believer in 100/100x18s (120/90 in Michelin sizing) or 100/90x19s on 125s, but I fitted a Michelin 130/80x18 (110/100 in normal sizing) to my XC150 and I love it.

    I have never had a s12 rear chunk knobs and they hold up really well in trail conditions. I have been happy with them on a kx250 2-stroke and my husaberg 450 four-stroke. I prefer the m-12 on the front due to the s-12 has taller knobs and it felt like they squirm too much in corners on harder dirt. 13 p,s.i. front and 12 p.s.i. rear does the trick!:thumbsup:

    Interesting... I tried and MH3 and thought it was the nuts. until it got a little wear and then it didn't seem as good.

    I can destroy S12's in one ride. They sure do not like rocks. IMHO the terrapactors are FAR better. Get better traction, last way longer and continue to hook up like crazy even well warn. My opinion only.

    It took my son two rides to destroy the M12's on his TM250. Now it was a MX track that has a few rocks :D. We have the Motoz on our TC250 and my 144 and they have been working great and still going. My only problem with the Motoz......finding them :).
