I've just ticked over 20 hours on a set on a yz250, mixture of sand, mud that turns to hard pack and a mates track that started as grass and now it's pretty hard pack. I have lost 1 knob of the front and about 3 off the rear but that happened in the last 2 rides.

I've never ridden with Dunlop's, was always Pirelli and then switched to Bridgestone for a bit. I rate the Maxxis front better than the Pirelli for feel, rear about the same. The Bridgestone I ran x30/x40 which is the intermediate and hard tire so not really comparable but I will say even on dry dusty tracks I'd take the Maxxis st over the harder Bridgestone tires. I've been very impressed with the Maxxis on everything I've ridden on

I run 33's on my CRF450 and have to change them out all of the time.

I have had a set of the MX-ST's on my CR250 for a while now (over a year) and I'm a fan. They surprised the shit out of me and performed WAY better than I expected in every condition I put it through. The two stroke doesn't rip them apart or cause them to round out. I think they would be just fine for what you're doing. They are good for quite a while but once they go.... they go.
