Dirt Bike Tires
Having a good set of tires can make or break your ride. There are a few factors to take into consideration before ordering new dirt bike tires. Firstly, the terrain. Much like ATV/UTV tires, dirt bike tires are constructed to handle different types of riding. The terrains of dirt bike tires are:
- Soft
- Intermediate
- Hard
- Sand
Tires can be in any of these terrains specifically, or in a range, i.e. soft-intermediate. It’s important to pick the terrain of tire that corresponds with where you are riding. If you’re riding somewhere rocky or with lots of sharp, potential trail hazards, a hard terrain tire should be the go-to. Comprised of softer, more flexible rubber, this tire will flex around the debris on the trail and decrease your chances of popping a tire. On the flip side, any loose, soft, relatively-hazard-free terrain should be navigated with a softer terrain tire. The harder rubber gives bite and traction to keep your bike from slipping. As for riding in sand or the dunes, sand paddles are going to be the best option.
Another factor worth considering is the type of dirt bike tire—radial, or bias. The difference between the two comes down to the placement of ply cords. Radial tires are constructed with ply cords extending from bead-to-bead at a 90° angle. This makes them stiffer, but provides longer tread life. Bias tires are created with ply cords extending diagonally from bead to bead at 30-60° angles. This gives the tires better flexibility, which makes them more comfortable on those rocky or rough terrains, but also less durable than their radial counterparts.
When it comes to the size of your new dirt bike tires, it’s best to stick as close to stock as possible. There isn’t much room for height and width changes on a dirt bike, and committing to a drastic change could mean rubbing and damaging of other components. So check your owner’s manual, the sidewall of your tire, before investing in some new rubber.

IRC VE35 Enduro Tire
Erik in UT
Great traction and wear
Accidentally ordered the VE35 instead of the gummy version (VE35S). Put it on anyways. It is definitely holding up better than the gummy and I can't really tell the difference in traction. I have been running IRC tires for a few years now and see no reason to switch it up yet.

Maxxis Maxxcross Desert Intermediate Terrain Tire
Jonathan in NY
Great tire for the money.
I really like the tire. This is my second one. Almost got 2,000 miles out of it mixed dirt and pavement. Traction in the dirt is great and wet pavement feel is rather well for a knobby.

Kenda K270 Dual Sport Rear Tire
Jeremy in PA
So far I like it
Mainly Street, some gravel off-road. "Grippier, maybe better wear" on my 450rl. I gotta stay out of the throttle, but I can't. 4 stars, too early to tell, but it feels good. On my 3rd tire in 2200mi.
