Well then that's super good. You're lucky. It's when they haven't tried something and they down it before knowing about it that makes me question .... Some have a hard time just saying I don't know I never tried them ..

Great thread! I've fitted a Pro on the front, works brilliant.

On the rear, I've just fitted an MX Extra, had an M404 before. Same size 110/100-18, the M404 was 135mm in width, the Extra is 116mm. The weather is quite dry now, lot's of hardpack, gravel, also sand, and I've liked the M404 better, slightly better grip (larger width?) and definitely more predictable when sliding. However I've hated the M404 in mud, looking forward to test the Extra there. Next time should try a 120/100-18 Extra?

Also, any M404 experiences from you guys?

we ran the 404 at the 24 hour race for about 6 hours before we had to swap rims due to bike owner being stupid.. But the 404 was good, wears fast in my opinion, i was really diggin it (first time i had ever ran one) up untill the point we switched rims. other rim had a SEDONA tire on it, it was TITS!! race was 87.231% sandish... and it hooked awsome, and after 18hours of racing, it looked brand new.

Got about 110mi on a new mx extra on the rear.  I like the tire quite a bit except for the wear which seems a little much for my budget right now.
