18 Best Dirt Bike Tires

Its 2-ply / breaker carcass structure resists punctures and helps provide stability over a wide range of speeds. The gummy Gekkota compound grips where other tires slip and act as a suspension component within the tire, providing extra bump absorption performance. The tire’s tall blocks were designed to provide a larger contact patch as well as flexibility for maximum traction in all conditions. IRC developed the gummy GEKKOTA compound with top pro enduro riders to enhance high speed cornering performance and durability.

Compared to its predecessors the Michelin StarCross 5 delivers several significant performance improvements and breaks new ground for Michelin in the world of Off-Road/Motocross tires.

The new design incorporates stronger, higher density materials that reduce weight without compromising strength or durability while it provides exceptional shock absorption that reduces rider fatigue.

These improvements mean that riders can push their bikes to higher performance levels, while at the same time benefitting from longer lasting tire performance.

Compared to its predecessor, the StarCross 5, the new StarCross 6 uses technologies developed in Michelin’s R&D centers and fine-tuned on racetracks around the world to offer up to 16 percent more traction and up to 19 percent better durability. These improvements mean that riders can push their bikes to higher performance levels, while at the same time benefitting from longer-lasting tire performance.

Features:

• The Medium Hard tread design is best suited for slightly harder packed or rocky tracks and trails
• Silica technology increases durability up to 20% and maintains tread block integrity over the life of the tire
• The adaptive design provides up to 15% more traction
• Tread blocks resist irregular wear for better traction
• Double ply carcass (2 layers crossed at 90 degrees)

Firmer lugs and compound deliver improved point-and-shoot control and better bike feel. The 216 Series Tires have been proven at the Baja 1000, Erzberg Rodeo and Romaniacs – just to name a few.

Features:

• Extreme offroad / enduro / desert performance
• Split tread pattern expels packed dirt from tread blocks
• FIM approved 13mm lug height
• DOT approved
• 90/100-21 “Fat Tire” design offers taller, fuller side lugs for rocks, roots and “square edge terrain”

varying conditions by maximizing cornering grip and providing remarkable durability and resistance against cuts and tearing.

Features:

• High level of traction, dynamic performance on most terrains, remarkable resistance to cuts and tearing
• 100% carbon black compound improves tearing resistance and provides excellent performance and stability
• CKB (Continuous Knob Binding) further improves tearing and wear resistance of the knobs
• Larger block size to increase contact patch
• Alternated -cut-knob for outstanding durability

Outstanding grip and linear traction let you unleash the full power of your machine, for a level of stability and response rarely seen in a MX tire. Superior gap absorption and contact feel add more line choices, especially when cornering or avoiding obstacles.

Count on flexible response to negotiate the terrain, even in changing surface conditions. Higher traction and superior grip extend the range of Bridgestone’s flagship motocross tire, as much at home in soft soil as on hardened clay.

Features:

• Designed for soft to medium terrain
• Developed and proven at the highest level of MX competition
• Optimized profile for greater stability when braking and cornering
• Larger casing allows more bump absorption

The ultra lightweight lunatic Dunatik brings traction and flotation to a new level.

Features:

• Paddle tire designed for serious dune performance at a seriously good price
• Ultra-lightweight 2-ply nylon carcass design

Based on the popular D752 tire, the D952 provides the same traction but with added durability for off-road and MX use. The buck stops here for anyone looking for a low-cost tire that’ll exceed expectations in off road applications.

Features:

• Based on the popular D752
• Budget-friendly without compromise
• Modified knob structure with increased radius at the base for added durability
• Tube Type

Starting where the X30 left off, the X31 is enhanced with Bunker Groove technology which works by improving casing flex for enhanced traction in harder terrain and adds biting edges for traction in softer conditions. Rear tire Cooling Fins promote consistent traction and feel under during a long moto by dispersing heat and minimizing inflation pressure gain. The symmetric front tire design enhanced with Castle Block Technology promotes braking stability while increasing biting edges and contact pressure on soft and slippery surfaces, while the asymmetric rear tire tread design enhances cornering traction by increasing lateral biting edges.

Features:

• Intermediate terrain tire with a wide range of use
• Rear Cooling Fins to disperse heat and maintain tire pressure
• Bunker Groove Technology for tread casing flex, a stable sidewall and increased soft terrain traction
• Symmetrical front tread design and an asymmetrical rear tread design
• For offroad use only
