I've always wanted to try one of them...but I don't think they make one big enough in a 19"...I think that's what kept me from trying one.

They offer a 110/90/19 that is pretty dang burley, lot's of guys here in the NW run it on their MX bikes.

Foxx4Beaver:
yeah that's what I thought, I only run 120's and on occasion a 130, due to the 80% sand in my area NE...if I run anything smaller than 120, they just spin and sink/dig, rather than "float" and hook-up.

bleeding green:
i agree that the mb5 looks sweet but i also want to run at least a 120 for the same reasons as foxx. lots of loose stuff where i ride.

alward25:
They run fat on sizing, it is hard to tell the difference between a 120 and a 140.

Foxx4Beaver:
hmmm...maybe I can talk my Kawie dealer into ordering one to stock on the rack so I can actually see one before making a commitment on buying one.
As it is now, I've got 5 tires with only a couple rides on em that I'll never use again, cause they weren't what I was hoping, performance wise.
