Hi use my KDX mainly in rough /gravel/boulder/shingle river-bed conditions.
Notice my front bridgestone is losing its knobs.
Rear Kenda Millville seems to be standing up not too bad.
What tyre choice can you fellas recommend for my conditions ??
cheers for your help..........:apint:

Hey man, best bet is go to a decent dealer explain to em and then they should point you in the right direction.

Unless ya have shocking bike shops down there!

hi kdxkid, basically you're using your bike in conditions that will f*ck any tyre pretty quick, i've shagged a michelin s12 rear in one afternoon riding down your way round the lakes (benmore trailbike park - gravel hell/heaven depending on your outlook) - i notice you posted on the kenda millville thread and like the tyre, the front is very good as well, but if i was in your position i would use the cheapest hoops i could get and run with h/d tubes, any knob will sink into gravel for traction but the difference between a $150 s12 and a $70 crossengo wil be hardly noticable, get a set of good tyre levers and reverse the treads for more trail k's per tyre.
