          Rated 5 out of 5 by from So Far So Good so I've ridden 3 times on this tire and its been performing awesome. i ride mostly soft sand/loom and roots and it performs better than most. I've tried all the major brands and would say this one is the best I've tried. it is must taller than the dunlop i was replacing.

          Rated 4 out of 5 by from traction tire, good for hills So happy with S-12 michelin tires for years, so I thought I’d try something new. This tire has very good traction, excels in loose dirt and sand hillclimbs, hooks up and you’ll climb that hill you couldn’t with your old tire. I didn’t give it 5 stars, because it feels “squirmy” on corners. I eventually got used to it, but want to caution others.... it is a different feeling tire, but wow! you’ll be amazed with the straight line hook up...... especially hillclimbs...

          Rated 4 out of 5 by from I bought this tire for the wet fall riding. Has worked really well on greasy hills. Seems to be holding up well.

          Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gription Need a new tire for sand track, knew Michelin made good products, and this was at a very good price. Tons of grip on straight always and bubs, and no sliding through corners best decision!

          I need a set of tires for my KTM 250xc. If I buy a Michelin in 110 100 18 will that be the right size? I have heard the have their own sizing. Have you adjusted this on the site or will this end up being a 130 type tire.

          Asked by: tom ttc
          Hi, Michelin would claim that is the correct size for your bike yes. Personally I prefer the 120 width on the 250 and 300 XC KTMs. That 110 is the same width as the 130 S12 XC. The 120 is the same as the 140 S12 XC. Dan
