Trying out the mx-51 front and rear myself we'll see this weekend. Usually use the s-12 on my 300xc but the knobs are tiny on the kdx sized tire.

I've got a few more rides on my Motoz and am very happy with it. Around here tires loose knobs and wear out pretty quickly. I don't have my odometer anymore but I would guess I have 300 miles and it looks better than expected.

i run the michelin comp 4 front tyre (comp 3 rear) good knobble spread & a hard carcass means i can run low tyre pressures without too much of a risk from punctures..it digs in real good & gives good feedback on the front end..its also road legal which is a bonus & it wears very well too!

The mx-51's hooked up nicely in the wood's and on the transfer roads. I can't believe how well the kdx turns that thing screams in the wood's and is fast in the transfers.I like it so well I'm gettin rid of my 300xc.
