W whtkdxtra Member May 23, 2000 72 0 Apr 5, 2003 #1 It time to buy a new back tire. I want to go with the S12 but I don't remember what size in Michelin is 100/100/18. Anyone know? I would also like to hear about everyone's experience with these tires. Thanks in advance.

I've used the S-12 and M-12's on my KDX and have had great success with them. FYI - Due to recent events i may be trying out some other tires.
