Hi, was hoping to get some help with choosing new tires for my DRZ400SM 2005, I have a some on my mind, but there are a few problems. So my bike has Excel rims, front 3.5"(RK EXCEL J17 M/C X MT3.50 DOT 181 JAPAN 1 05), rear 4.5"(RK EXCEL J17 M/C X MT4.50 DOT 181 JAPAN 12 04). I was hoping to get some suggestions for some 90/10 asphalt/dirt tires for mostly riding around, some twisties, but no track or very hardcore riding, so longer lasting might be better than super sticky. I already have a set of S wheels for real dirt riding, but still need the SM ones to not be completely awful on dirt as there are occasional times I have to go on dirt with them(For example a kilometer every time I go front or to my house) I was looking at the Michelin Pilot Power 3, but the only choice for the rear is 160/60, which I have heard is too wide. Another one I was looking at was Michelin Pilot Road 4, any experience with it? Thanks for your help, have been surfing the forums for a decent time and seen how helpful people are.

Does anyone run a 130/80 18 on the rear in Michelin AC10? I have been running the S12 in that size for a couple years, but the shop owner says the AC10 may be too big and I should use the 100/100 18. The shop owner says the tire will fit but the weight may cause a loss of power. He suggests the 100/100. I'm a big guy and like the extra meat on the rear. I'm moving to the AC10 just for a change. Several guys I ride with have moved to that tire and really like it.

I'm up for a new rear tire for my 250 XC-F. Stock is a 110/100-18 Dunlop AT81. Ive got 23 hours on it and it's not chunking just slight rounding of the center section. The front is a 90/90-21 and it's holding up extremely well. I don't know if I should throw another AT81 on or try something else. I've been riding a mix of hardpack motocross tracks and Red River sandy off-road trails. My closest tracks/trails are hardpack. Here in Texas when the black dirt dries it becomes concrete and sometimes loose dirt settles on the surface and becomes very slick. On the other hand my favorite trails are very sandy but I drive an hour or so to ride them. What would your suggestion be for a new rear tire? Soft-medium? Medium-hard? Intermediate? I ran a couple Michelin Starcross MH3's and Dunlop 756's and liked them but that was several years ago. I'm leaning towards the Bridgestone X30 but I hear it's not as good as the 404 was.

PRODUCT DETAILS Billed as a 50/50 dual sport tire, the Michelin T63 is nonetheless a worthy choice for the rider who primarily spends the majority of their time off road. Inspired by the Dakar winning Michelin Desert, the T63 features large burly knobs that grip in rocks, gravel and rough soft dirt. Additionally, you’ll be hard pressed to see any chunking here with the strong reinforced carcass construction. Tread pattern derived from Michelins highly successful Desert tires, for exceptional traction off road Excellent stability and durability High level of grip on the road Reinforced knobs resist tearing and abrasion on asphalt “S” speed rated for highway use -
Hey Everyone, I am wondering what tires anyone would recommend for Michigan Motocross tracks? I have always used Michelin S12XC on the front and rear but have never really ventured out to other types of tires. I am currently looking at the paddle knobby tires like Pirelli MX Soft 410 or Dunlop MX11 for the rear and I was going to continue to run the S12XC on the front unless someone has a better suggestion. I am trying not to spend a ridiculous ammount on a new set of tires so if anyone has any good recommendation on cheaper tires (Artrax,etc) feel free to chime in. http://www.motosport.com/pirelli-scorpion-mx-soft-410-rear-tire?mmy=yamaha;yz450f;2009 Bike is 09 YZ450F Thanks for any replies in advance!!

OK, So I bought a low-mileage '04 S model last December. Spent the winter souping it up and riding it rurally, never for too, too long and definitely never on HWY for more than 10 minutes. Bike: DRZ S with 18/21 wheels. Stock 15/44 gearing, Michelin T63 tires, 3x3, JD jet kit, stock carb, UNI filter, full FMF, Seat Concepts, guards, lights, yap, yap, yap So today it was really nice here and I had to make a trip to see my folks across the bay. Figured I'd see how bad or not bad it was to ride the Z 90 miles each way. (it was not bad at all) Questions: 1--At about 75 degrees air temp, and cruising HWY speed ~60 mph...about what kind of engine coolant temp would you expect your Z to be running at? (yeah, I know the Trail Tech sensor is only nominally correct, but still) 2--Totally subjective here: We all know these bikes get pretty "buzzy" at HWY speed and it is entirely up to you what you are comfortable with.....BUT What is your threshold for extended HWY cruising RPM or speed with stock 15/44 gearing and 18/21 wheels? (I guess really just RPM) Unrelated ?: Say after I am coming around an off ramp, and get back into the throttle heavy (WOT) to be ready to merge. Or if i needed to make a pass at HWY speed (WOT). I am noticing there is a bit of a "dull" spot in the power delivery. Does not really stutter or misfire, but definitely has a lack of "pull" right around ~6700 rpm. A "dead spot" if you will. Anyone else ever have this? Or have suggestions about what this feeling might be? Normal DRZ symptom? Jetting? I'm open to opinions and understand that there are huge variables! (yes chain was lubed, 21 psi tires, 25 pilot, 160 main, 4th clip, blue needle, ~2 turns out, FMF pbomb & Q4 uncorked) Thanks!

Made from a multi-cellular butyl material, Bib Mousse replaces conventional tubes, providing a pressure equivalent of approximately 13 psi Specifically designed for off-road competition use, at speeds up to 80 mph (130 km/h) - above this speed, heat buildup can lead to rapid destruction of the Bib Mousse, resulting in serious injury to the rider - under no circumstances should Bib Mousse be fitted to motorcycles for on-road use Bib Mousse may be used only with Michelin off-road tires, including StarCross HP4, StarCross MS2, StarCross MH2, S12, M12, H12, Enduro Comp III, EnduroStar, Baja and Desert - because Bib Mousse is shaped for a perfect fit inside these Michelin tires (see sizing chart below); use of Bib Mousse with other brands of tires can lead to handling instability and possible destruction of the Bib Mousse Each Bib Mousse includes a tube of Bib Mousse Fitting Gel; installer must be sure to follow installation instructions supplied with the product
