Dunlop MX52 VS MX32

Id like some insight on these also, just last night I was looking at reviews and it seems that even though the 32s are listed as soft to intermediate use, and the 52s intermediate to hard, most preferred the 32s even for hard. I noticed Canards bike was set up with the 32s for supercross, Cant believe they are worried about the little sand sections to justify them. Here in Colorado its blue grove or churned up blue grove, so I was thinking 52s, but 32s seem to be what the reviews like?

I'm running a 32 in the front and a 52 rear at the moment. Only have a couple rides on them but I'm liking the combo so far.

Just put 52s front and rear on a 125 I've been working on, but haven't got it to the track yet.

For my taste I seem to like the front 32 better for my all around tire, even hard pack. Rear I run the 32 because I do like it better when things are soft but transitions well well the hard. If I knew I was running almost all hard pack I would go w a 52 rear. But, I also only ride 2t at the current time, no 4t bikes in the stable.

If anyone wants to try the mx 52's I have a brand new set I'll sell for $100 plus shipping costs.

What size?

The 52's are a good tire for most conditions. The 32's wear faster on hard pack tracks.

A 90-90-21 front and 110-90-19 rear

Damn, those arent the right size. I woulda scooped those up so quick

From Dunlop:

28 - Choosing The Right Tire

Determine the overall track conditions including the starting line
If the ground is dry and hard to the point where it does not break up when you kick it, you should consider a tire with a hard pack tread pattern like Dunlop’s Geomax MX71.
If the conditions vary from hard-packed to loose loam, you’ll likely will want an intermediate terrain tire like Dunlop’s MX51F front & MX51 rear or a combination of hard track front & intermediate rear (MX71F & MX51).
If the ground has a cushion to it, rutted with soft berms, you probably need a soft terrain tire that will penetrate through the loose soil. Dunlop’s MX31 is an excellent choice.
If the conditions are strictly soft deep sand or mud, you might consider a specialty tire like the New MX11.
Let the dominant condition dictate your choice after considering the start section.
Don’t be afraid to mix off-road tire patterns front and rear to feel more comfortable.

The mx32 is a great tire for soft /intermediate, but they do wear fast. Best combo is a mx 32 front and a michellin ms3 or the new ms4 I think? Its a sand tire, but the ms3 is superior to the mx32 and it will last forever!

I ride a 52 on my local sand track a lot, and it works pretty well. No complaints
