For the guys that ride dirtbikes around here... what tire do you like to run? I figured it couldn't be a bad idea to ask people who live in the same part of the country and ride similar terrain.
I was thinking an intermediate tire. I'd like a soft/intermediate tire, but I think it would wear off too quick. I really liked the maxxis maxx cross intermediate tire:

That was what I planned to get. When I was at the local bike shop the other day, the kid at the parts desk couldn't stop telling me about how much he loved the Pirelli scorpion xcms's (and we actually ride on the same trails... but i dunno if he's full of b.s. or not, don't really know him all that well)

They do look pretty mean. I looked at a front one when I was at the bike shop and looks like it would bite pretty well in the turns. I dont think I would mind running a scorpion up front and a maxx cross out back.
But I dunno, the last set of Pirelli's i had wore off pretty damn quick, so i said i wasn't going to buy them anymore (can't remember what it was at all, someone gave me a free new rear at the time). The last tire I ran was a kenda millvale and I love it, but can't seem to find it in a 100/100-18 or a 110/100-18.
Anyways, what do you guys think is the best all around tire for our SW PA terrain?
