I have decided that from now on I will be posting reviews of things I have tried, so that any buyers out there can take a look and get an opinion on the product. I have recently purchased a new Step Child "Powder Sucks" snowboard and the APO expresso line bindings. I have not yet had the chance to test out my new set-up so stay tuned for that review. For today's review I think I will go back in time and review the different motocross rear tires I have tried. First of all as far as the size of your tire goes, it is entirely up to you. A 110 - 130 is a nice and wide tire that will give you tones of confidence dropping it into a corner, and will give u more surface area to get grip with. Unfortunately the wider the tire, the heavier it is, and on such an important part of your bike, it makes a big difference. Thinner tires still perform very well, but just have less rubber on them, so less contact. They are however a lot lighter witch results in more speed :). Personally I usually choose a 110/90 as a nice rear tire. As far as the make goes, again its up to your preference, different makes are totally different tires. For example: the Pirrelli tires, like the scorpion are an extremely tacky tire, but they are made with a softer compound and were very quickly. With almost every brand there are soft-medium tires and medium-hard tires for the terrain you ride. That is only a guide line, of there are a lot of rocks were you ride, you tire will were quickly no matter what. The bottom line with all the brands is usually, you get what you pay for. I have gone through many brands, they all seam to perform great, the Pirrelli was amazing at first, but wore down ridiculously quick. My next tire will be the harder compound Dunlop 757 because of the extreme size of the lugs on it. It will also be a 110:)
