[QUOTE="spanky250, post: 153784, member: 20897"] The Dunlop K 490 and K 695 are probably the closest I have used to a true hard-terrain tire, and I could destroy them in one ride. They provide excellent traction, but very rapid wear. Hard terrain tires use close, short knobs with a soft compound to grip the hard dirt and prevent tread-block squirming. As a result, they wear rapidly. Soft-terrain tires use a hard compound, taller knobs, and a wider knob spacing to allow the knobs to sink into the soft ground to get traction. The Dunlop 752s and 756s wear very well, and get great traction over a wide variety of terrain, but they tend to lose grip suddenly and without warning when leaned over onto the side knobs. I have used Michelin M 12s and S 12s, I prefer the S 12s. They wear well, and provide much more predictable limits than the Dunlops. Thye don't have quite the ultimate grip as the Dunlops in very soft dirt and mud, but otherwise work very well. Both brands tend to chunk and lose knobs in very rocky terrain, but I think the Michelins are slightly more durable in these situations. [/QUOTE]
