We can get Mitas here now from an online factory direct distributor. Good tires. The ET-01 radial trials is my primary (rock) tire. I will get an extreme sport to replace the MT16 I have, as the old Tenmasters were great. The C10 I believe is a good sand tire much like an S12.

i am IN LOVE with the metzler 6 day's extreme on the front of my new 300!! that is by far- the best frt tire i have ever ridden on in my long and not to illustrious career. i'm way faster into and out of corners as i have full confidence in how this tire will bite/grab/steer through the corners. there i said it- i'm in love with a tire!

the Metzeler 6Days Front Tyre is unbeliveble good, but the rear tyre is worn down very fast, the Michelin was much better.

What about the Maxxis riding report?

I will try next time the Michelin Enduro Comp 5 for the front

I have still been researching the Maxxis EN and really cannot find any reports good or bad yet. I would like to wait and see if I can get a good report before pulling the trigger.

Or, I might just go with the trusty MX31 or MT16

You should do a search for mitas extreme and see what reviews you come across

Been doing further research and decided to go with the Michelin s-12. Proven Northwest woods tire. I know they can go away somewhat quickly, but nothing but 100% positive reviews in terms of traction.

BTW, my brother just picked up the Metzler 6-days on the front and absolutely loves it.

Should be fun to run a knobby for a while after 3-4 seasons on a trials tire! With my Tubliss, I should be able to run low pressures with the S-12 and get some great traction.

That looks like it would work well in our forest here in Houston, lots of sand and silty mud with some of the darn red clay that is slippery as snot and really clogs up tires.
