Motosport is having a sale for $75 set. Are they any good? At half the cost of Dunlops or Bridgestones it seems enticing. Or, do you get what you pay for?

I've ran a couple pairs. They aren't terrible. Worth $75. I'd rather run Bridgestone or Michelin. If artrax and Dunlop were priced the same, I don't know what I'd choose.

I have ran 2 different rears. I ran the more INT tread and thought it was worth the $ in value. I also have the softer terrain tire and have been less impressed with it. I would not hesitate to buy the Intermediate tire again, the value is good. I have not ran any of the fronts though.

I have them on some vintage bikes. They aren't bad. $75 for a set is hard to pass up.

I've ran them on my 125 rear and it was fine. If I remember right they do come skinny though, so maybe check the reviews and order one size bigger than normal. I actually have one of their fronts in my 450 hillclimb bike right now and I don't know if I recommend the front, it's super skinny but if you get a real wide size it would probably be fine.

I put a rear on my old 125 and it was worth it to try but I wouldn't want to buy another. It was a bit sketchy in corners or cresting humps at an angle because the tire measured pretty thin compared to same size Dunlop/Bridgestone I have used. Maybe just the pure size of it not so much the tire design could have contributed to it losing traction in a very vague way.

I use the following combo:
Front SX1
Rear MX Pro

Used them on a CR125, YZ125, KX250-97, CR250F and currently KX250F.

They are good and last alright, good grip on soft to mid soil.
Even on Hard Soil they are alright wear off a little faster.

That combo is similar to the old Pirelli MT32 which i used to race back then.

And for $75 you can’t go wrong.
Recommendation use tire soap to mount the tires they are little stiff.

Ive had them on a KX250 and my current CRF250R.

I use the MX Pro and it seems great except for one thing: they are narrow.

If I had to do it over again I would order the 120 knowing its going to be the size of a 110.

They are well worth $75.

Im running the MX pro on my kx450f and they are a decent tire but are skinny as others have said. The 120 is the same width as a 110. They must measure them different because they have more sidewall and less width than say a Bridgestone 120. Im assuming thats how they say they are a 120. I would not get them again for my 450 because of the rear width. Traction is pretty good but I feel they are slightly unpredictable in corners. If you need new tires and $75 is all you got, then they are well worth it!!!!
