I realize that this is a very subjective thing, but I'm looking for replacement tires for my 04 KDX200 and could use y'alls help. I ride mostly on hardpack wooded trails (lots of small rocks packed in, with some bigger all-rock sections) as well as on soft sandy woods trails. In both cases, the trails/sections are tight enough that I rarely get over 4th gear, and I'm usually in 2nd or 3rd gear. Anyone have any recommendations for a decent tire that can handle both of these environments reasonably well?

I run, an s-12 rear, and 756 front, it seems to work well for my riding conditions, here in the midwest.

Michelin S12 or Dunlop 756 are both great tires and will work well on either end. While they are labelled 'soft terrain', they work pretty darn well everywhere, IMO. If you go with the Michelins, the sizing is funny (for example, a 130 rear width is the same as a Dunlop 110 and teh 120 Michelin is like a 100 Dunlop)

I reccomend Dunlop 756's front and rear, but for the rear... use a 110/100/18 for better traction
