Well..... I tested..... and I was impressed.... I'm gonna keep as my backup.... Thanks for testing them for us....
Nice. Glad to hear more results. I have almost 400 miles on these now. Wearing well, no chunking, great hookup. I like them. VERY good and inexpensive tires.
I havent tried the rear yet.... but I will once I shake down the front more.... I wanted to go one at a time so I have a baseline.... I am super picky on my front tire.... I like supreme confidence in it and it cant grab wet roots and logs as you go over them.... so far so good... about 60 miles is all I have....
Just rode 2 days in Central Oregon at 3 Trails with a new set of ProWheel Hardcore MD tires , I liked them a lot especially for the $$. I like the area too, real fun trails.
Kelly- I assume that the rear works similar to the XCMS, since it's basically the same pattern? If so, I am surprised that you are running that in your terrain. I run one on the back of my 300 for sand season, and I really like it, but I don't plan on running it in the rocks... I haven't found a rear rock knobby that I love yet. Trials works great but it's a bit limited. I like the Maxxis Desert IT and the K760 on a dual sport, but not for racing. I tried the XCMH and had the same impression... So far, the best I have run is the MX51, I am going to try an AT81 next. I also need to try the motoz front you're always raving about...
Same pattern but probably different rubber compound. I looking into this tire because I remeber liking the pirelli with the same pattern so thought I would give it a go. We tend to have most everything here, loam, roots, hard clay, hard wet clay, loose rocks, imbedded rocks, everything but sand. Been very impressed with it. Got 400 miles on it now and it has not chunked at all and hooks up great. This tire has seen a good amount of rocks and zero chunking... I have no stake in these tires and do not sell them just reporting.
If it sounded like I was accusing you of having a bias, I apologize; that was absolutely not my intention! Do you usually run soft terrain tires out there, or have you had luck with intermediate/hard terrain stuff?
Didnt take it that way at all. All good. intermediate usually works the best here as we have a big variety of terrain / conditions.
