I don't see it.....
 My tires on the rear are dry rotted, it is a Michelin Starcross MH2. What are you all running for red clay trails that are in the woods. With rocks and crap that can get slick? Where I want to ride has some nice trails with some rocky sections that can get steep, but not really a huge hill climb. What tire will work for the slick red clay stuff? My Honda ATV does ok, but still slides a bit, so I know a dirt bike will slide more than my quad.

Wide open as to what each of us like . Since I use tubeless I like harder sidewalls AT 81 are nice . But some of us use trials tires I am using Vee soft tires and just got an equalibriam .

For the money and life you could probably run the Dunlop AT81 rear and a mx32 front and be pretty happy.
That being said I use GoldenTyres. GT216 front and a GT230 rear. They are pretty pricey though and work best with a mousse because the carcass is really thin and they are prone to punctures. But as far as performance there isn't a better tire on the market right now. The GT216 front lasts forever but the rear wears pretty quick. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I run Pirelli's, MX32 front soft to medium....rear I like the MX 32 Pro and the ExTRa X which works good in soft to medium. Run a 100/90/18...seems to work a little better than a 110 on the rear. just my .002

Metzeler MC5 Front and Rear. The MC 5 is good in clay and the knobs won't tear off on the rocks. I run tubeless as well.

Yes....a 100......its a 200, not a 250 or 300! IMO a 100 fits a 100-200cc. 110 for 250cc 2stroke and 250 4 stroke and 120 for big bores.......of course its a personal preference...riding style, feel and ability.

Metzaler mc4 is the best I've ridden in red clay, it's sketchy in the dry when you spin it up though, not at all progressive in a power slide or brake slide, metzeler 6 days soft for the front in clay.
