I got some of these mx33f tires for free, low hours. Are these better than the maxxis that comes on the gasgas bikes? Worth the time and effort to change the tire?
The updated fork settings are AWESOME though. seriously.
I just wanna know if it's even worth swapping out to one of these used tires or wait a few more weeks for a new one. I suck with tires, no experience.
Thought it would be bringing this back to the top. Several newer versions of these tires on the market now. How are guys liking the MX34 versus the MX33 front?
Anyone compare the MX34 against the SC6 front? How about the new/updated Pirelli MX32?
Anyone still running Bridgestone X30's?
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I don’t like the MX34 front. For me, it is unpredictable on harder packed dirt. It breaks loose without warning and it’s not easy to regain traction after it breaks loose. It’s typically a big slide instead of the small loss of traction like I’m used to on other tires. Had this problem over several days and 2 different tracks. I never had this problem with the MX33 front.
After a couple ride days fighting this I switched to the MX82 front and now I have confidence in the front tire again. Switched all my bikes to the MX82 fronts with MX34 rears.
D773 dunlop but can't find anymore.

I agree with this about the 34 front, works good in sand/loam but anything with a hard base it lets go or pushes unpredictably, the harder the base the more I like the 53 front…I”m a dunlop guy, but they are getting kind of expensive….
I hv a new 773 front . I run a old 490 Dunlop on the hard pack. I hv pirrelli tires but did not try them yet. They sound good from reviews on here tho.
New. 🤣
What was the old dunlop moto tire with the diamond shaped knobs, 95 something?? I think they had a race spec version for a while, thats the best front ive ever used. 957? Been drinking and cant remember lol
756
I didn’t care for the MX34 front either, like you I like the AT-82 front tire.
The AT82 front rocks. I run the 90/100-21. Just big enough to increase stability and bump absorption without slowing down the handling too much. Perfect for the stuff I do.

Lmaooo what’s crazy is I have the exact opposite experience. Ran the at82 for the last couple weeks & put on a mx34 & it is loads better for me. The 82 is good in hardpacked, but any softer dirt didn’t want to turn. Corner entry is really where I notice the difference. I’m not saying you guys are wrong it’s just crazy how this sport is all personal preference.
The mx3s is super good but doesn’t last very long!
I just rode with MX34 (front and rear) for the first time this weekend and had the same experience you did. I guess I shouldn't be surprised or complaining that a soft terrain tire doesn't work that well on hard pack, but I've used soft tires on hardish dirt before with no problems.
Did you notice a "wiggly" feel on the front when riding at speed (straight line) on the hard stuff? That part bothers me a lot worse than the lack of grip when cornering (which is to be expected given the design of the tire I guess).
I will likely go MX53 on the front next time around.
That’s crazy because I ride a lot of sand! Maybe the different tire size plays a role? (I’m assuming you run the 80/100).
Wanna sell the 773 by chance?
