(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Hey Guys,
What Michelin tire are you guy's using for soft terrain for the front tire? I have the KTM EXC250, 02' model, ride tight trails and deep sand. Thanks, I know this has been covered but search function does not work from my work computer.
I appreciate you advice

i prefer the m-12 others likr thr s-12 and starcross

When it's mostly sand or mud, I like the S12. When the terrain gets mixed, I prefer the M12 or MS2.

I run the Dunlop 755 front all year round. Sticks good in mud, dust and everything else. Didn't see the word Michelin to now

Thanks to all, I think I am going to try the s12, for the front and back.

To those with a similar KTM, what size tire did you use, I have heard the 100 sixw has smaller knobs? What is a good size to get?
Thanks again

don't get the s-12 rear, the palmetto roots tear the knobs off. I do a lot of central florida off road and the best 19 inch rear is the bridgestone m26, like a paddle and holds up great. If you have an 18 inch rear try the m40. S-12 front with m26 or m40 rear is the ticket here. I've also heard good things about the pirelli mt44 front but haven't tried one.
