Just found a rebate. 30 visa card from oems website.

I'm thinking starcross 2 mediums for my 17 sxf450. Mx only. Bay area .

Our local shops in San Francisco dont carry anything but dot rubber.



Thanks all

Starcross 2? You mean Starcross 5?
If you only ride MX get the 80/100. The 90/100 is more of a woods tire.

Yeah, my bad.. Starcross 5. Going off memory. Thanks for clarifying the 80/vs/90

If you don't mind changing tires a little more often the starcross 5 soft is an excellent tire in everything from loam to intermediate. Probably a medium on the back.

I use soft front (90) and medium rear. I ride all kinds of terrain and thats has been the best combo for me, everyone is different tho.

I tried the starcross 5 and they are not very good. They feel a lot like bridgestone m403/404. Rideable but not as good as mx33

90, as the 80 is such a skinny tyre and the sidewall is low profile. Hence the super low weight.
The 90 is like a normal 80.

Came here to say the same. The 80 width Starcross is visibly narrower than a 80 MX3S.

Traction and durability is pretty good on the Michelin though.
