I heard Maxxis is coming out with a radial knobby, don't know the truth in that though. I'm on the fence about tublis...I really want to try it but I'm a little weary. We get way back in the jungle and I'd hate to have any tire issues there. I can get a trials tire down to 4psi with a UHD tube and still not worry about flatting...Ok worry a little! But since we have been getting so much rain this year the trails have become very muddy and I think I need to switch back to a knobby until things dry up a little. I could always break out the tire groover. MX31 and tublis huh? |

My brother in law was running a worn out front tire recently, he tore a side knob and flatted out about 1/3 of the way into a ride. He was able to ride with a flat for 25 more miles with no ill effects. We swapped bikes at one point, and I was not bothered much by the flat, it didn't squirm, nor did it get unpredictable. It did worry me when I saw square edged stuff, so I was lofting the front over stuff a bit more. Bottom line, as long as you don't wear your tires into complete degredation before you swap them, you aren't likely to get a flat, though I've thought about getting a tubless tire plug kit to carry, 'cause if we'd have had that, we would have been able to just air his tire right back up.

my absolute favorite is the trelleborg tenmasters with a 120 rear, just a sick tire up against any other tire ive tried(which is quite a few)!!!

i'm still running just the mx31. for me there's no better tire out there, they do wear fast, and if you're running tubliss, they will leak air out of the base of the knobs. slime gets you a few more hours.

I use this tire too! It is now called the Mitas XT-754. It is the best rear tire I have ever used!

Thanks for feedback. Just started riding again after 4+yrs, had just decided to part out my 300 when a friend got a bike. I moved to south east Okla so plenty of riding trails here probably comparable to Jim Cook's area in AR, a lot of rock and red clay. Was leaning towards a trials tire but the MX31 sounds interesting as well, I suppose everyones choice has to do with the type of soil and conditions. Should that be included?
Great Pics Cladoo, on #79 thus far. Last edited by KicksonR66; 05-06-2012 at 09:59 PM. Reason: Add |

S-12 on the front and Metzeler MC4 on the rear. When in summer I either go with Metzeler MC5 or Pirelli Scorpion Pro FIM in the rear but front stays the same.
