Hi guys, I have a 2018 yz250f and I just bought a new rear wheel to use for dunes riding only (Glamis, Dumont, etc.). I wanted some advice on tires and gearing. First off, I'm assuming a paddle tire is the best option, but I see the Michelin Starcross 5 Sand and am wondering if people have ridden with this at the dunes and how they like it? It seems like it might be a pretty versatile tire, but I would be using this ONLY for dunes so I want to get what is best.
I don't recognize any of the manufacturers of the paddle tires, so does anyone have any recommendations for a tire model? Also, from what I'm reading I should be getting a 6-paddle as opposed to 8-paddle on my 250f?
Finally, I'm planning on getting a sprocket with stock 50T gearing, anyone recommend differently?
Thanks in advance.
