i run starcross MH3's, there for more hardpacked but i just got them because i figured they'd last longer, and they've been holding up awesome, i had bridgestone's and they where pretty decent, i personally didn't like the kenda's, alot of the nobs on mine fell off but maybe i got a bad tire because everyone else seems to like them haha

I have been happy with the Dunlop geomax mx 51 for the rear.



I have tried a Kenda for the rear a couple of times but the knobs break off. Missing knobs are fun for flattraking corners but not fun in a race.



For the front I have been using a Maxxis Maxxcross and really like it. I have never had my front end wash out with this tire. The carcass seems to be a little bigger than the other tires that I have tried.

ok heres the big question. what kind of dirt? because here in ohio we run starcrosses and they work beautifully but ive tried others that didnt seem to hook up quiet as well. you want to pick the right tire for the right dirt hence the diversified opinions.

For sandy loam style dirt the Michelin Starcrosses (MS2)are the way to go.



For more intermediate style dirt the Dunlop MX51 is probably the tire to get.



For hard packed dirt, mainly blue groove stuff, the stock tires are fine and will last forever.



I run the Starcross on my rear (because I'm too cheap to buy tires at the moment) and it's amazing for the sand and hardly shows any wear. But once I start riding on more hard packed dirt it really starts to eat away at the tire and shredding the knobs.



Just my .02.
