What front tire do you recommend for dry hardpack clay? I'm lookin for a tire with a plush carcass. The bike is a 2022 yz 125
Pick your favorite brand and price/availability: Dunlop MX53, Pirelli MXMH (MidHard), Bridgestone X31, Michelin Starcross 6 Medium Hard…All good sneakers
A rubber one? Jeeze dude, it’s not like it’s 1992 and you’re lining up for A1. Just ride.
Lighten up Francis… it’s new year, let’s try and be less angry than last year ? It’s a forum, you don’t “have to” reply to things that don’t interest you.

Dunlop AT-82
That's what this guy recommended
If the dust doesn’t get too deep the Bridgestone x31. If it gets deep mx33 with a Dunlop mousse is the best I have tried. I have not ran the at82 yet though. The 33 is better on hardpack than the 34 in my experience as long as it has a mousse in it. Both suck compared to the x31 though.
I've used the Dunlop MX53 and like it's grip on very dry stuff but it was really out of place for me on intermediate stuff of SoCal.
If it's blue groove than a hard terrain specific tire will be best. If it's hard pack with loose spots than an intermediate tread. Soft terrain tires are too hard of rubber and will slide more. I'm not sure why it's popular to run a soft terrain tire everywhere now, but it's dumb.
Thanks i Will go to an intermediate tire.
Most likely the x31
I’d go for what he said above a rubber one but I’d also shoot for a round one.
True hardpack? Like blue-groove if it's dry? Michelin Starcross 6 Hard.
Otherwise, pick a medium/hard (intermediate) tire that fits your brand preference and price point.
Dunlop AT82 and MX34 will work good. They are hard to find but a 3S would also work well in these conditions
