i get various ex-race (just rounded) pirelli tyres off a mate, and they can def. take a beating. They do chunk out the side knobs on the 250, or even a 125, but thats after a good 50 hours. Normally only chunks off the front half of the knobs, then ya just turn the fuckers round and get an extra ride or two.
the mid hard extras do alright in the winter as well, with about 5psi in them they go anywhere.
however i find the extra fronts to be a pile of shit
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '
ive got mid soft scorpions front and rear the 1st rear lasted well on 15 - 20 hrs started to put tear marks on the outer knobs. The one on at the mo has lasted a lot better but thinking of going to the extra next time.

iv been running a bridgestone m403 intermediate on the front and have been pretty stoked with it. had it on riding tough enduro through mud and pine needles during all that rain a few months back, and have been riding it in this dry dusty shit since. it was second hand when i got it, it still had its edges, at least 30-40hrs later and it still looks new minus the hair things.
if i were to buy new tyres, id be getting an extra on the back, m403 on the front.
use to run the mh and ms 3s mich's on the cr250 and the yzf426 but found the where complete shit on the 450 dont seam to get the same traction at all switched to the scorpions hooks up every where real well guess ill just have to put up with replacing them more often. get them cheap anyway
