I am glad to see they are expanding because I have been using their front tire MX25 and it is the best front tire I have ever ridden with period

I use the mx25 front and rear on my 450 and the 18” mx30 on my off road bike. They work great !!

Only good can come from an outside news article that spells "motocross" correctly every time!

I hope they can expand!

That's so weird I was taking to my friends about these tyres yesterday as we can't get them here in GB. Great to see the development and hopefully this means they will have the capacity to distribute over here in Europe!

Have someone purchase some for you here and send them over to you.

Kudos to Plymouth IN and Hoosier Tire. Excellent products .Only a twenty five minute drive to the HS woods track in Culver IN managed by the fabulous Bean family. As an ex-hoosier of 54 years I garnered my first trophy in 1974 at the Plymouth Blackhawks HS facility. I still retain the trophy. The MC club still exists 45 years later.
I can't say enough positive comments of the motorcycle families as the Beans that continue to promote our great sport.
Thank you Bob, Cliff, wives and Hoosier Tire Corporation. I hope Cliff is still doing the shotgun dead engine HS starts. As many Hoosiers know Bob was a ISDE Husky participant in 86-87.

Guy's are the tire sizes some what the same as something like a Bridgestone? Front and rear?

I bought a set of mx32 Scorpions for my 125 a couple weeks ago , and the rear ( 100 size ) dang near looks like a fat MTN bike tire compared to the Bridgestone I pulled off of there. I almost think a 110 would of matched up size wise between the two.....But , the mx32 110/19 works really , really well.

Like to order a set of the Hoosier mx25's for my 250 , so was curious as to size comparison.

So the sizing is definitely different from all the other brands I’ve used. I used the 110 rear on my 150, since it is lighter than the 100 Dunlop MX 33 and only slightly bigger. I used the 110 (mx 20/ softest) on my 450, when they first came out, because that’s all they had at the time. It looked weird on there, but it worked great. I got the 120 (mx 25) on there now and it’s sized in between the 110 and the 120 Dunlop, but is much lighter than even the 110.
The front tires are all 80 series, but they are sized in between the 80 and 90 Dunlops. It feels like a 80 when riding, so no worries there. But size wise, it’s more like a 85, if there was such a thing. I bought the MX 25 front and rear fir my moto bikes, but the MX 20 was a fantastic tire that wore really good.
Went with the MX 30 on my off road bikes and couldn’t be happier....

Give them a shot, you’ll like them a lot.

Thanks Shaun! I will order up a set here real soon. Was thinking of the 110/90 for the rear on my 250. It seems I kind of dig that slightly skinny tire feel of the Scorpion mx32 on the 125 , so I'll probably just get the Hoosier mx25 110/90 for the rear and a matching front. Is delivery pretty quick from the CA distributor?

Shaun , or anyone......what is the difference between the IMX tires and the MX tires? They both have the same description listed on each. I understand the MX20 soft , MX25 Med and MX30 hard.......but what is the " I " for?

Shaun,

what size rear would I get for a crf450X ? I run a 110/100/18 which is the stock size. I want to try the MX30, but on their website they say the 110/100/18 is for a 125cc or 250cc and list the 120/90/18 as a 450cc tire. Not sure what the deal is. Want to try one down in Baja but don't want to order the wrong size.

MX should be the front tire, and you can get the regular or S for stiff sidewall, IMX should be rear tire.
Unless I’m mistaken.

This is really fine news.

From https://shop.hoosiertire.com/index.php/motocross.html

(07110) 80/100-21 MX30S
$115.00
The 80/100-21 Stiff Construction is optimal for Supercross and Motocross applications. The stiffer construction improves lean angle grip, quicker response, also better braking and stability. This will increase lap times. Optimal air pressure range is 13-14 psi. Tread Width: 3.90" | Approx. Circ.: 88.0" | Recom. Rim Width: 1.60" | Compound MX30S

I am pretty sure DECREASE lap times was meant?

Anyhoo, got a few extra bones floating about for new rubber and hubs I'm gonna rebuild or have rebuilt and will try Hoosier.

Semantics. Don't bust my ass, Vital.

Here is the 110/90 on my 250f -1.85 rim. The 2.15 would probably widen the footprint a little more.

Exactly as I’d say too.
But go a 25 on the rear on the big bikes. Compound is perfect and wears excellent as it gives, surprisingly the 20 wears good too, but the summer here made them go off. Winter it’s good.
My 30 front and rear cracked the knobs at the same time a Dunlop 3s would. The 25 doesn’t.
My 125 uses a 110 20 compound rear, I’d use 120 on the rear of a 250 2 stroke as the tyre is so light anyway and the extra grip would be a bonus.
I’m off to get another set today!

WOW!! Holy hell , that looks almost exactly how the Scorpion MX32 100 looks like on my 125. Maybe I better get the 120 rear for the 250 2 stroke. That looks pretty dang narrow.

WOW!! Holy hell , that looks almost exactly how the Scorpion MX32 100 looks like on my 125. Maybe I better get the 120 rear for the 250 2 stroke. That looks pretty dang narrow.
The hoosier 110 measured 4.6, using a caliper, across the widest part of the knobs which is the same as the 100 Dunlop mx3s. The 100 Bridgestone was 4.8 across the knobs.
