i would recommend a Dunlop 110/90/19 rear,,,and specific kind there all good,,and thoes tires dig not slide,,if you want serious digging less sliding this go for the 100/90/19,,,but if ur riding soft terrain you would want 120/90/19

I have tried Dunlop 756, Michelin S12's, Michelin M12's, Starcross and Maxxiss IT.

Right now on my 250 F I really like the way the Maxxiss IT's work and wear.

Plus it is a big price savings.

I have done 110/90 and 100/90. I like the 110/90 in more rocky conditions but it really ends up coming down to personal preference. I never really noticed any dramatic power differences between the two tires.

i just picked upi Michelin Starcross (i think the MH2) and it's 110/90/19.
just one question, it wont make the bike heavier? slower? or hurt in some way the clutch/engine?
i also notice that the tire is bigger then the original (100 vs 110) and there is very little place for the mud between the wheel and the swingarm is it alright ?

My picks:
Dunlop 756........excellent hook-up in a very wide range, but quick to wear.
Maxxis IT..........semi-close to the Dunlop's performance, way better wear.
If going for the trophy...Dunlop.
If only "fun" riding... Maxxis.
