John. What type of terrain for you? Glad someone else. But not in a good way. Now I need to figure out what new front tire for me...?

Rocky, rooty, single track is what I ride the most. Seems the s-12 rear and 6-days front are a popular combo.

Jep i tried the hard version of the metzeler six days and I love it on hard terrain and rocks. It has much more grip and last longer without breaking knobs.

How would you rate the S12XC against the old S12 ? I still run an S12 on front but it's not manufactured any more, only the S12XC .

Comparable grip, much better durability.

The S12XC would loose its grip on the top of sandy berms and corners. Did not inspire confidence at all.
That was the last tire I ran before going back to the Metz last month.

Agree, they are as good as the standard ex everywhere except grass tracks and mud ( but not far off) and last better.

An mc4 metzeler on the back and you have a very versatile setup.
