Best off road tire for the money

MAxis Maxcross IT for the rear. Wears like iron and hooks up in just about any condition. Dunlop 952 for the front. This tire turned my WR into a new bike! I couldn't believe the difference in turning!

I guess I'll throw in here as well. I am currently using the Maxxis IT rear and it is wearing well and has good traction for most of the varied terrain we ride here in the rockies ( mud,roots, logs and rocks), I will however have to agree with SMJC Don on the Sakura Dirt Shark as a great, cheap rear tire. I tried one on the front and took it off after 1 ride as it was waaaay to scary for me. I went back to the Pirrelli MT44 front that I have been using for the last 10 years and won't go away from it again. WR Dave.

The Maxxis IT is a great hard terrain tire, but they are HEAVY duty and, IMHO, they aren't that great in the mud and clay.

The Kenda Trakmaster II REAR tire is a GOOD budget / value tire.

Michelin 130 is like anyone else's 110... I have typically run Michelin 140's on all my WR's so you will have no issues with a 130.

Those are good prices, I would buy the S-12 just don't expect it to last very long (depending on how often you ride) It will hook up seriously and will give you a new found respect for the throttle. An S-12 will also continue to get great traction even as it wears to 50% or more. I don't know bout the other fronts listed but the M-12 is a decent front tire, it's narrow but works well I've been running one now for a couple months.. it's soft and will wear kinda fast but it's an all around good tire.
