Only $10 for all 2024 SX, MX, and SMX series (regularly $30).
80/100-21 Frt $81.88
Those are the prices at RMATVMC for MX32 Mid-Softs.
But...here's an alternative...
Metzeler MC360 Mid-Softs (Metzelers are brought to you by the folks at Pirelli)
110/90-19 Rear $78.99
80/100-21 Frt $70.99
Also at RMATVMC. Those prices are DELIVERED to your door...as I'm reading on their site.
You could go to your local shop and see if they'll beat or match those prices. If you can do that and it's at a shop you've got a good relationship with? Well, that's a good thing.
80/100-21 Front : $59.88
110/90-19 Rear : $72.88
100/90-19 Rear : $79.88
Usually there is a $20 rebate per tire going on. Right now it doesn't appear to be going on. Maybe after Black Friday?
I run these tires on all my bikes now (125, 450, and Alta MXR) and they are great and wear better than Dunlops.

Its the same pattern (had been forever) michelins new starcross 5 soft is.
Personally I like michelins front more a little - but cant figure out why yet - likely a pressure thing
And the “new” maxxis front mcgrath tire is a clone of midsoft pirelli as well
Its a very similar pattern the old 756 was...
IMHO the rear mid soft is the best gripping tire you can buy
their new rear “mid hard” which I feel was a terrible choice of name - originally called mid soft pro - is my go to tire around here. Lasts really well, works awesome when the track gets any shiny spots, and is hardly any different tread pattern than mid soft (i dont know about the differences in carcass)
Their new mid hard front is my shocker pick of front tire - I like it soft or hard terrain - and its tread pattern and the dunlop mx33 look identical almost. Call me crazy - others seem to disagree - but it works for me
i just got back into riding after a 25 year hiatus and put the statcross softs on my 1980 yz250. i have not compared them to any other tires so i really have no idea if they are decent or not, lol.
exactly what tire are you referring to?
is it better than the starcross soft?
Pit Row
Here’s this week’s fresh set...
Best rear there is imho
There is a reason the euros all run them...
Starcross 5 soft is excellent - but Ive noticed it chunks quickly around here - but you cant go wrong with it
The mid hard front tire (new one - out for a year now) is much different than any other pirelli
I like it - even in soft - more so in soft than the mid soft go figure.
This is the one I ran that looks like the new mid hard, but the compound could be different. This is no longer on Pirelli's website.
old fim pro was a look alike to mid soft 32 but full diamond knobbies on “middle side” knobs
in any case I really like that tire
Switched and never looked back. It's not that I didn't like the Dunlop's because I did but the Michelin's were a better bang for my buck. They had great durability. I ran the Starcross MH3 which I believe is now the Starcross 5 Medium.
