Motoz Tires

[water racer]

I am going to carry Motoz in my shop and especially interested in the Mountain Hybrid.
What other Motoz tires front and rear would work well in Eastern conditions? Example: Mud, roots, rocks, ruts...

I will probably also do Golden Tyre, but that will be a question for another day.

I guess Motoz is out of favor and no one has an opinion.

Maybe Joe Chod will weigh in, he uses Motoz. I'm a Kenda user, but if I switch, it would be to Golden Tyre.

I like the Terrapactor front and rear but they will chunk if ridden in sharp rocks continuously. The Tractionator IT rear is fairly good all around. I haven't used the st. The X-Circuit is an interesting tire. In smaller sizes it has a very pronounced radius. The larger sizes work really well, don't chunk, and last a long time on big bores.

I still think the Golden Tire Front is the go to tire.

I'm in Oz and only used their early Tractionator. (About 5yrs ago)
I haven't gone back for another look, it would not wear out and so, did not grip.
I'm told the newer ones are better.....

It's a fad

Thanks guys, I am going to order some of the new Mountain Hybrid tires to try and was just wondering if any of the others were worth giving a go.

The terrapactor S/T front is my all time favorite tire, it rules in all conditions here in the PNW. I have used it on all my bikes and it holds up well. The rear has great traction and a nice progressive slide but like Walt says it chunks pretty good in rocky conditions.

I like the tractionator I/T front. Good mileage and all terrain performance.

Only problem is im in australia and i dont kno how hard it would be to do an exchange , more than happy to pay postage costs if possible, would be awesome to have a chat , if you could email me i would really appreciate it, tysonv@live.com.au thanks mate.

i've tried them all and love them. For the dualsport riders who are more trail connecters than commuters, the new Moto Z DOT tires are some of the
best off road tires you can buy that are street legal. Had the ST Enduro rear on my 511 forever with over 50% tread when I recently sold it. I agree with jmetteer, the Terrapactor front has
been very good in just about everything.

Iv'e ran 2 different Motoz tires and had less than expected results. I ran an Enduro IT front and a XCircuit rear. The front was OKish but a bit squirmy and the XCircuit wore out really fast and was not good on anything wet, especially off camber wet trails. It put me on my Butt a few times.
I now am running the GT 216AA front and a 130 Michelin Competition rear with very good results in everything.
