Michelin Starcross MH3's - believe the hype

Ya I was looking but they don't sell these in 18's. I'm gonna have Chris check for me tomorrow. Oh well. I may try the Desert ones and see how they hold up.

Tracy was really interested when she saw your report. She still has a 19 inch rim on her 250...I'm sure Dad wouldn't mind giving his daughter a tire.

Thanks for that info. I'll have to 1) get a bike, 2) give the MH3 front a shot. I did and do really like it on the back end. Only tire I've had that I didn't chunk the knobs on.

I also don't like the ever increasing price of the Perelli so this may be my choice next time. Is the front tire just as good? I have heard some people using the soft terrain tire in front.

It's not just Perelli, all the tire companies seem to be going up lately. I even noticed Maxxis was up there.

Thanks Kevin! Just the nature of the beast. Tires are petrolium based so they are affected by high oil prices as well.
