Jeeks:
So what I thought was a tuning problem with my 250, turned out to be a traction problem. (smack across the forehead).

First off, I do not ride on pavement.  I've been running a Dunlop 752 on the rear and I just installed a 773 up front (which is an awesome tire).  My bike EATS rear tires.  This 752 looked new when I bought the bike 2 months ago.  The terrain I ride in is usually 25% dirt to 75% sand. I now have about 1/3 of the tread left.

It seems the soft terrain tires have a soft compound.  I'm a pretty aggressive rider and prefer the somewhat paddle design on the soft terrain tires.

Actually thats not true, Soft Terrain tires have a hard compound and hard terrain have soft compounds. The old Bridgestone I think M22 was an awesome hard terrain tire, but could be melted off in a race. My experience with soft terrain tires is they peel the lugs off because they are so hard. By the way I run primarily Bridgestone tires so I can't comment on your dunlops.

i like 120 -90 -19 dunlop 756 rear

Good:
Been running that same 756 rear and it's a great tire.  I am very impressed.  I don't like my Maxxis front though...  I'll try something else soon as my edge knobbies are almost all broken off but there's still good tread down the middle...

What's a good front?

stewart:
i like dunlop 490
