[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 1065707, member: 22658"] Asrith - those tires look rather worn out - no wonder you did not like them! That front does not look like a soft terrian tire at all, must not be a Southwick? and that used rear actually looks like a S-12 - what was it? I agree the S-12s are a great tire - and if it were not for the $ issue, or if i were only maintaining one bike, I would likely stick with the S-12's myself. I just had to try these out to see. (hopefully next time around all 3 bikes wont need tires at the same time!) Our Southwicks arrived yesterday. I weighed them and compare to the tires I was taking off. The 110/90/19 Southwick rear came in 3 to 4 pounds heavier than a 130/70/19 S-12. ( I have to give a weight range as I was only using a bathroom scale - inspite of it being a digital, i was getting some 1 pound swings weighing it one time vs the next) That is a very significant weight difference! As to profile - the Southwicks were only available in a 90 series - and it is notably taller than the S-12. I woudl say it was about 5/8" taller in overall total diameter. This 19" went on my son's 200 MXC - in looking at it installed, I wish I had gone with the 100/90. From what reading I had done, the Michilin 130 was about the same as everyone elses 110 - so that is what I ordered. But this Kenda appears like the rim width is not quite wide enough for the 110. This does not seem to be the case in looking at a Kenda on my 250. (perhaps the rim width is different 250 vs 200...dunno) On the front tire - the Kenda came in 1.5 to 2.5 lbs heavier than a Bridgestone that was on the MXC (forget what size and model it was). Again, a significant difference! And it was notably taller in overall diameter (1/2 inch ish) I then installed the rear on my 250. The weight gap on the 18" tires was about the same. I also measured actual maximum width. The Kenda 110/80/18 vs S-12 130/100/18 - the Kenda was about 4 mm narrower. Height was 1/2 to 5/8 taller. This morning the front goes on my bike and my other kid's KDX gets new shoes - then its off for a ride. [/QUOTE]
