I picked Maxxis since they support the site, yet if they don't have a tire that works well for the condition then my 2nd choice is Michelin.

Michelin MS2's on both ends unless the testing is on hard pack then I would want an MH3 on the rear.

I see a lot of 756s out there. Why? It's a great tire when new, but once you ride for 2 hrs, the tire knobs are already rounded off.

The IRC M5B is a real he man woman hater tire. Wider than wide. and holds up to the mean nasties that off roading brings to the table.

Okay, the poll isn't adding up. I show 8 posts for a combination, so that may be the way things run, unless one of the other brands jump into a commanding lead.

If it goes for a combination, I'll post two polls, one for front, one for rear.

I agree on the 756 rear, but I've had excellent luck with the front holding up and the M12 rear wears like iron.
