I am looking for recent tire shootouts. I'm interested in the weight and durability. If it's in a magazine I'll buy it if my dad doesn't have it.

I have no idea when you could find tire shootouts but here are my two choices for most tracks that aren't deep sand (Dunlop MX12 on deep sand tracks).

1. Pirelli MX32 Mid Soft:

The rear is the best performing rear tire that i have had. It outperforms the Dunlop MX33 but the durability is a tad bit worse compared to the Dunlop.

The front also performs better than the Dunlop, the durability is also better than the Dunlop

2. Dunlop MX33:

Solid read tire if you want high performance and yet some kind of decent durability. You can't go wrong with it.

Front tire. Solid tire but the durability is horrendous if you ride anything else than softer tracks. The side knobbies will break off way before the actual pattern is starting to get worn out (this doesn't happen nearly as much on the better performing Pirelli MX32). This is not a problem if you ride mostly on softer tracks and avoid hard packed/firm tracks.

Try the hoosiers. Youll be amazed. 25 front amd 25 rear had more grip in mud to hardpack than any tires ive tried before.

Trying the 30 rear this time around to see if it lasts longer.

Keefer has done a tire shootout podcast. Check his archive on your podcast app. He broke it down between soft/medium/hard tires also. Definitely a good listen
