I have heard nothing but great things about the Maxxis Maxcross IT but have not tried one yet.  The last tire I put on was the new Dunlop 739 Desert A/T.  Don't confuse that with the standard 739.  I believe they are different tires.  The Desert A/T is probably the strongest tire I have ever worked with.  When I eventually wore it out and went to change it, I removed all of the air from the tube.  You could barely tell.  The tread life was better than the M22 that I was religiously using prior to that and after the experience of changing that tire, you could definitely run that thing flat at some impressive speeds.  Oh, I don't change that tire myself anymore.  Too many bloody knuckles.

The IT is only a good rear tire,if you want to go fast dont run a IT up front, its ok for trail riding.I've been going to try a IRC VE  because I heard its a good front tire even though its cheap.Any favorite front tires?

The Maxxis is garbage up front. I'm currently running front and rear Kenda Carlsbads and am very happy with them for the AZ desert.

Kenda Millvilles if there's gonna be some moisture around. Carlsbads if it's dry.

Manny,  Have you tried the Millville front?  I was fondling one at the bike shop the other day (it looked good) but have yet to meet someone who has tried one. It was 1/2 the price of the michellins in Canada. Cam.
