Edited Date/Time:
I'm looking a soft terrain tire for a yz250. I don't want to go the full sand paddle because I do ride tracks that do vary from sand but never concrete hard pack.
Price doesn't sway me however I would like something that lasts if I am going to spend the money. I've read the Dunlop and pirelli are the best but don't last, and that the Bridgestone and Michelin are close but last longer.
I don't race so superior traction at the cost of tread life doesn't work for me. Just looking for some info on which tire to look at so I can search for a deal. Are there any good comparison tests out there? Opinion threads are good but every tire has mixed review.
