Motocross tire
Grip on dirt bike tracks.
Your motocross tire is obviously critical to your success. Buying the wrong tire for the motocross tracks in your area can put you behind the pace. You may lose grip or a cheaper tire might puncture or fall apart in worst case scenarios. In the real world of dirt biking its very different to a free game motocross download off the internet. Things won’t go smoothly on a pit bike track, but practice will help and having the right gear and parts for your bike will make a difference.
Dualsport tires or mud tires are such a very important part of your bike. You might have a bridgestone ed04 dual purpose tire or just some cheap generic mx motorcycle tires, you still have to look after your motocross tire. Do seek out a dual purpose tire review – which some websites offer, or a motorcycle repair guide, which is worth printing out and keeping with you at races.
If you do use items like bridgestone dualsport tires, be aware of the dualsport laws and that your motorcycle tire pressure is legal – and your tires motorcycle tread is too!
Quality brands to look out for are – Motox dunlop motorcycle tires; bridgestone and goodyear mud tires; michelin motorcycle tires and the always popular non-branded discount motorcycle tires.
On the web we went to scout for the best atv mud tire and motocross tire we could find, and maybe any atv mud tire review comments as well.
First up was mxretreads.com.au; which are a firm that retreads motocross tyres. They have been in the business 20 years, so are expert in their field. Prices and sizes are all available on the web. But do consider if you want a re-tread dirtbike motorcycle tire – as some new discount motorcycle tire sales can be just as cheap.
Ebay is an absolute must for motorcycle accessories and motorcycle parts so some cheap motorcycle tires and motocross tire buys; should surely be on the cards.
A mini-pitbike tyre was easily found for £9.99. With free delivery the mud terrain tires were 12.5 x 2.75" in size; and should fit many of the 49 and 47cc models on sale today.
Dirt bike tyres
Other atv mud tire bargains on ebay were a Pit dirtbike INNER TUBE - size 2.75 X 14" - for a mere £3.99 + £2.99 shipping, and an 18" dunlop motorcycle tire (Rear) selling at £19.00 + £9.50 shipping.

Dirtbikebitz.com became our next choice who have a fantastic selection of mud and snow tires, and some of the best mud tires they can find; but the motocross tire options don’t come cheap.
A Michelin Trial Competition tyre (Front) was selling at £61.50, and a Michelin Cross Competition S12 Motocross Tyre – (Front) classed as Soft/Intermediate was priced to go at £57.50.
But some discount mud tires were discovered by us – take for instance the Metzeler MX & Enduro Tyres from £39.94 , and other Michelin MX & motocross tire buys are priced to sell from £22.50.
Then lastly we went to dirtbikestore.co.uk who have various dirt bike tires and dunlop dirt bike tires. But they have a system called TireBalls. This is a kinda flat-proof tyre inflation system, which looks like a normal tire on the outside but has smaller cells where a normal inner tube would be. The single cell system makes the dirt bike tire 10 times more puncture resistant.
They have a Tire Balls MX Pro 2 Series for £49.95 (great for motorcross) and a Tire Balls Off-Road Pro 2 Series selling at £127.19 (suited more for enduro riders).
With a system like that you might not need your motorcycle tire repair kit again, when you get mud on the tires.
There are also used mud tires bargains from ebay and local classifieds. But also read up within pit bike magazines who does a free atv mud tire test or an atv mud tire shootout? – often comparing a couple of tire manufacturers.
But the important thing is that you need to rely on your MX mud tires; so don’t cut corners and compromise your safety.
Hangtown motocross
So whenever possible keep with big branded tires such as Michelin and Dunlop and take advice on the type of track you'll be riding on to buy the correct tire. Then both things combined should give you an edge on other bikers.
If you get really good you might want to try your hand at the motorcycle racing event in Northern California called the hangtown motocross. A huge race which is a spectacle to see and unforgettable to race in. Check out the club site and the amazing pics of previous years races if thats an ambition of yours to compete in.
