I had the Desert ITs when I lived in Nevada. Kick ass tire I must say. Never had a flat and ran low pressure well.
I have always used the IRC VE33 and VE35 with great results and they are decently priced for the life of the tire.
I love my Kenda Milleville 2. I have it on the rear and I wish they made it for the front of my 105
I'm running the mx52 that came on my yz250 for winter riding, 1 1/4 inch stud in each lug on the front, braking on hard arena ice I can ride on the front wheel withers the rear in the air , rear gets 1 stud on side lugs and 2 on each in the center. Foot of snow on the lake and 4th gear wheelies and drift turns are a blast. Come spring, dunlop at81 F
And IRC ve33 gummy goin on the rear.
Run sti, They work good and can't beat the price. I just bought a combo front and back for 135.00
Personally I love the pirelli xc mid soft. As an all rounder. But m hearing good things about the motoz.
Have you guys ever put your tyre range on the scale ?
As I’m a little guy I try to cut weight where ever I can especially unsprung weight and rotating mass.
Hence I’d love the lightest tyres on my bike to pair with the tubliss system. Cheers
Awesome.. great video.
Michelin starcross 5 soft. Best all around tire in my opinion.
I keep trying different tires, but I go back to the at81. It just works everywhere and I have never had the chunking issues some complain about. Muddy to desert, it just works!
OFF ROAD AND ON ROAD TIRE PLS🙏
I have MX52 on my CR250 right now, but have a set of X30's ordered from you guys for when those wear out!
Nice back up plan *Erik!* How are you liking the MX52 so far?
Best desert tire in your opinion. I kind of want some stickiness rather than the massively hard usual desert tires.
Golden tyre gt333 rear and the golden tyre fatty for the front are my favourites
Me too!
The kenda Millville has been a pretty good back tire. Really predictable, good grip, and fairly cheap. Im running in florida fyi.
*Wheelie Everything* Thanks for sharing your review. We've heard good things for sure! Thanks for watching.
Wheelie Everything i got that on mine as well
Mitas ef07 green stripe/ shinko 525 cheater/ irc m5b are all wicked tires for the wet PNW conditions
Metzla mc360 mid/hard compound really good all terrain Tire
Good video
Please add the names and models of each tire wile you talk about it
Also I have search and search for the weight of the Michelin Starcross 5 Intermediate terrain tire. Would you be able to give the weight.
Plus, it would be helpful to give actual weights of all tires to compare. Thanks.
I’ve probably put about 30 hours on my dirt bike in the mountains (dirt and rock) and I bought it used with 18 hours on it. Is there a ball park for how long tires will last? I think mine look fairly spent but this is my first bike so I don’t know.
I ride a track that's mostly hard pack but has a few sand sections what kind of tire should I use?
Im gonna be riding mostly dirt,mud and on gravel. what tire should i get. First time i ordered a new rear tire it was one for sand and stuff about $100 and ruined instantly.
Just the vid I was looking for. After 17 years of not riding, I just picked up a 2019 slightly used YZ250 with bad stock tires for my needs. Back in the day, I loved the soft ground Dunlop 752's, so it looks like the Dunlop MX33's for me today. Thanks man. One more question of mine answered. :)
Glad I could help!
@@rmatvmc Yea, me too, thanks again. But one more way you may be able to help is tell Yamaha how stupid they were to make the YZ250 so damn tall, and pissing everybody off under 5'10" who can't throw a leg over their bikes and sit on a sky scraper. These new bikes are freaks!! No wonder why our corner speed sucks like a Hoover. I have had 5 YZ's, and my last bike before this one, a 97KX250, was as tall as should have been made. It pisses me off that I have to spend some big bucks to lower it, in order to enjoy a ride. But at least the aftermarket guys can fix this crap. I am heavier now, and knew I would need new springs, but here it is, "Un-ride-able", as sits in my garage. What is with the bikes being so tall, (like all have the extra need of height because of valves on a head), and why don't you guys complain? These bikes suck. Take me back to the 70's. 80's or 90's.
Just venting a bit, and it probably felt gooooood! :)
Hey ,I currently run a 110/90 -19 tire with a tubliss system ,will a 120/90-19 still fit? Pls I need answer asap
Can you ride with knobles on the tar road in the rain How safe is it
What would you recommend for a DOT approved tire that's appropriate for a lighter, road legal MX bike?
what are the red and yellow stripe on the dunlop for?
What about snow and ice tires?
Any suggestions? Tks.
I had starcross 5 soft on my 250 but sold that and got a 450 and it came with (brand new) maxxis maxxcross IT and they just don’t cut it, they are very good in the harder stuff but in sand/ mud which is about half my riding they are not good at all
What about the Sedona HP907 ?
The 505 is supposed to be run with shink 546. I use the fatty version and in every terrain from slick rock to deep mud I haven't had a wash out. It also wears extremely well. I've ridden 2500mi on the front I have now. Three tubes in the same tire. Lol.
Dang, that's a lot of miles!
what do you know about this new "gummy" tire form 220?
I like my Millville front and Dunlop AT81 tear combo
What type of terrain do you ride that Millville front and AT81 rear in? How's the traction in each and overall wear? Ever use them on short stents of pavement?
Matt T wear on the Millville front is excellent even after some pavement riding. The at81 is amazing but doesn’t wear as good and definitely doesn’t like pavement. I haven’t got to try the at81 front and I haven’t tried the Millville 2 rear yet
Is a flat track tyer and triels tyer the same tyers or are flat track tyers a breed of ther own
Maxxis IT desert is a good value. Decent traction with high durability. I run them with 4-7lbs w/tubeliss set up side walls hold up for the life of tread. Chinook Cheater tire disolved b4 my eyes, lasted maybe 10hrs. Hella traction but I don't particularly care for the process of changing tires so if you feel the same way I'd stay clear of that brand all together, they just don't hold up.
I just want to know if a KTM tire can feet on a durt bike
I'm searching a kenda k761 dual sport tire for my RM250 for the streets but can't found them in the right sizes for my bike
Anyone can help me out?
Chase I have a question for you. I signed up for a local Enduro it had been dry in Georgia for a long time and right before the Enduro it rained 6 inches of rain and was raining race day. I have the Pirelli extra dry to int. on my bike and did not have time to change the tires. I gave up on the second section of 5 section. What is the best tire that can cover you in any situation. Thanks Steve
Steve, that is a great question. But here's the deal, there isn't any one tire that will cover you in any situation. There is always a give and take. But for enduro riding, and in those conditions, I'd maybe try out a hybrid style tire like the Arena Hybrid Gummy for Motoz, or the Kenda Equilibrium. These are the type of tire that we use for trails and enduro style riding and we love them. They use a softer compound that bites in just about every condition. For desert riding and deep sand they won't be the best (the give and take), but if you haven't tried a hybrid tire, definitely worth a go. Let us know if you have any other questions.-Chase
Irc m5b evo for hill climbs
I live and ride in Kentucky sometimes its soft and muddy as hell others its dry as a bone and hard
same in WV
Now in 2020 what is a good substitute for mx52 hear they stopped making them? Ride on very hard terrain up north. Hard pack stone road and the trails are mountains sun baked rocky trails.
Sounds like you should get a hybrid tire. Check out the TUSK Recon. We also do have a hybrid tire guide to help you.

i’ve got a yamaha ttr230 want a road and trail tire ? someone please help thanks in advance.
Those bridgestone tires x30 and the x40 are the longest lasting race tire out there . For the money they win the cockroach award by far . Going on 2 seasons w mine and they are still just under half tread
*Efren Contreras* thanks for the feedback. We do like the battlecross line. Great tires! Thanks for watching.
I think you should add a little more to the trail or even extreme riding category. There are alot of great new tires that fit into that extremeoffroad or endurocross type riding. Lots of potential tires like the IRC VE tires, kenda IBEX, shinko tires, or even the new dunlop tire for endurocross. Just some food for thought.
I really like RMATV but you dont carry the last few tires I bought:
IRC TR8
Kenda Washougal II
Kenda K782 Sand Mad
Please expand your selection so I can give you more money!
What tire would you recommend if i ride 70% on asphalt and sandroads, 20% in the forest and 10% on a mainly dry track? Mostly dry places.
And a tire that would last long
How does a 120/90/19 compare to a 120/80/19 for MX on a 450? Handling wise etc. There's really not much information out there. Thanks and congratulations on your first kid.
The 120 90 going to be mildly heavier than the 120 80 , will provide more grip and rim protection, and wont want to corner as much as the thinner 80 series
Im trying to change my xr80 swing arm to an xr100. I have a xr100 motor with a stage 1 cam in it. I ride in Ocala national forest in florida.
Quick Rider cool I haven’t been to Ocala but think I am going soon to ride Check out my channel if u want bro!!
Brady Stone imma start getting into motor cross to. Just watch out for the game wardens in Ocala as they will take your bike and leave you in the middle of the forest if you don’t get a permit. Good luck though!
Hope to see you out here I live in the Ocala national Forrest, all that sugar sand on a small bike will help you become a good rider
Chase! @11:29 where is that wallride!? What trail?
This is down in Green River, Utah. 10 mile is the name of the trail/area. But this wall ride isn't on any specific trail. If you go down there you just find awesome stuff to ride all over the place.
If your riding in a place with heavy sand, light sand, and hard pack dirt like Borrego Springs do you go for more of a sand tire since that’s where you’ll need the grip or will they not work well in the hard pack areas?
I just watched a video of this area and I think a sand tire like the MX12 would do great there. My only concern with a sand tire in that area is if you get into some rockier sections, you might have some chunking on the knobs. But a soft-intermediate would be just fine as well. The MX-33 or the starcross 5 soft would both be good tires for this area.-Chase
Rocky Mountain ATV MC super cool that you responded and so quick. Thanks for the advice I’ll definitely check out the options you suggested
You bet, man. Glad we could help you out. Hope fun out there and be safe-Chase
do the 120 width options fit all bikes? im tryna get the dunlop mx14 120s but dont know if it will fit a 250 husky in the rear
You should definitely be able to fit a 110 or 120 on your bike. The difference in width is small and can even vary depending on the specific tire make and model.
@@rmatvmc thanks
Why dirtbike have taller tires on the front?
Whats the best front tire for motcross that wont slip out or break the lugs off thanks
My all-time favorite front tire that bites in all conditions, doesn't tear knobs and lasts a long time is the Michelin Starcross 5 soft front. Best front tire there is.-Chase
@@rmatvmc thanks i think that is what is on my bike i got now but i dont know if it is the soft one. I did just get this bike so i dont know it is a 2011 kx250f.
I had a Drz , tried the Shinkos , then Kenda Trackmasters , finally ended with Battlecross tires and those by far where the best for that heavy girl . Had d606 on my Gpx , and some older two strokes back in the day , now I have liquidated my fleet to a nice new BETA 350 RR , it also has d606 on it and I am really wanting something better for Southern Utah riding as I am 40 miles from Sand Hollow /Warner Valley . Probably gonna go with the maxxis , son has those on is Crf450 and it is a ripper.
do you have padle tiers for a 2008 ktm 65?
We don't sell any 12" paddle tires but we do carry a Dunlop MX12 Sand/Mud tire if you want to check that out: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/tires-and-wheels/dunlop-mx12-geomax-sand-mud-tire-p
What should I use to ride in powder snow?
A snowmobile.
Could you recommend a rear tire for 10 %road 80% hard pack / roots 10%mud ? Would be a big help
Do you need a tire that is DOT compliant?
@@rmatvmc hey I’m in need of a tire recommendation too. I ride in rocks sand roots gravel and paved roads. Doesn’t need to be dot but want to have pavement longevity. I gotta cross over a lot of pavement.
@@outlawpat8038 Did you find any thing the works well in the same boat as you want something that don't wear so quick on the road while riding the the farms I ride
How about doing a dual sport and adventure bike tires buyers guide?? Not everyone that buys from you do not ride dirt bikes or race
i like the shinko 525 cheater because they last a little longer than the 505 and the fact that the 525 has more flex to it to you'll feel it slide out a little bit through corners.
Worked good for me to in a 19”.
@@robertpoppe5810 yeah i have the 19 inch rear wheel and the 525 is my choice of tire to run.
the 525 pretty good tire im not a fast rider and have trouble in corners , but in off camber it worked really well i was suprised. that 525 lasted about 8 hours not sure if you can flip it either like a kenda.
@@robertpoppe5810 I'm not a fast rider either I get bout 45 to 60 hours out of my 525 tires and yes you can flip them around I do it all the time
@@Minionmoto529 good to know you can flip them now i think ill use them again.

Hey ,I currently run a 110/90 -19 tire with a tubliss system ,will a 120/90-19 still fit? Pls I need answer asap
@@victortrejo4807 okay so I dont know much about that but I just did a little bit of research and what I saw was yes but I don't know if they were talking about tubliss (I'm guessing no, I have no experience with tubliss tires) but overall what I saw was yes a 120/90/19 will fit a 110, but im saying that I'm not 90% sure I will have to ask my dad him and my grandpa have worked on dirt bikes for about 25 years together
@@brownieonadownie7517 nice nice ,I was researching some stuff and saw that you can use any tire for tubliss ,thanks👍
Has anyone here used washougal 2s I ride trails in pa
I have a 1998 ktm 65, and I was wondering if anyone knew what tore I should get. I ride rocky muddy trails.
The AT81 from Dunlop would be a good tire for that. For hard pack and rocks, I also like the bridgestone X40 tires. Good durability.
@@rmatvmc Any recommendations for a 12 inch tire? Thank you for you comment.
Bridgestone 404 or Dunlop MX52 would be a nice tire for that bike.
What do u think about the d606 for a ktm 500 excf I ride on road but want traction off to the continental 80 is junk for off road and what about a front tire please help.i.need a long lasting tire mostly trail.riding some rocks to I live.in maine

@@ktmdays alright thanks ima just call dealership
I bought a shinko mx216 for the front, is that a decent tire?
I've actually ran one of those before! For the price, it's a good tire. It doesn't have as much lean angle traction and some others, but it's not a bad tire at all. I think you'll like. I can't remember how the durability was. But you'll find that out soon enough. -Chase
Rocky Mountain ATV MC awesome, thanks for the reply, I always buy from you guys!
That's what I like to here! You'll have to let us know how it performs for you.-Chase
Rocky Mountain ATV MC will do!
STI tech 2
Yep, Get a sti combo for 135 bucks and work great for the hard pack and rocks I use mine for in grand prix races.
I live in NJ where the dirt is hard, soft/muddy and sand in all different areas and the track is a mix of these and so is the trails. There is also a track all sand. What should I use
I would go with either the Dunlop MX33 or the Starcross 5 Medium.
@@rmatvmc ok thank you
I've got a phobia against michelin, too hard to change
The Starcross tires have some of the softer sidewalls of any MX tire. Easier to change than a Dunlop or Bridgestone. - Chase
I notice Rocky Mountain MX/ATV does not Sell Hoosier tires. So, is this why you do not include Hoosiers in any of your comparisons?
That is correct. We will only feature products that we carry.
@@rmatvmc will you in the future? They are great tires.
MX33 rear MX52 front = the gold standard!
The new MX53 is MUCH better than the 52.- Chase
Rocky Mountain ATV MC that’s actually what I’ve got just haven’t ridden it due to covid 19. But the 52 was great 👍 hope your staying safe mate!
@@benfairhall5331 Right on. I wouldn't even compare the two because the 53 is so much better. It's good everywhere! It and the Starcross 5 soft are the two best fronts out right now. And yes, trying to stay safe! Got my first kid coming in less than two weeks!
Sedona tires do not last long at all

I'd like to thank my family, god, my 8th grade football coach, and Samsung for their incredibly quick push notifications.
