    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

    I haven't tried an extra on the front as I got told to put a mid soft MX 32 with the MX extra on the rear, so I did and it seems to hook up good both ends. So from what I was recommended you are right!!
    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!!

    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.
