| MX 31 tyre construction |
Quick description
Your tyres are the only point of contact between you and the ground so choosing the right one is important, the Dunlop MX31 is a good choice. This is because its the companies lates and greatest when it comes to soft terrain motorcross tyres. It has many new innovations which lead to a great performing soft terrain tyre. These features include chiseld and staggered tread blocks, which help the tyre to sink in and grab solid ground under the soft top layer, and help to reduce the amount of tyre surface the soft soil and mud can stick to. The bike I have tested them on is a 99RMX 250 with a 120,90,18 rear and a 19/2.15 front.
Pros
Un-beatable traction on soft ground
Great allround traction on soft to intermediate ground
Wide variety of sizes to suit and any motorcycle from a Pee Wee 50 upto a KTM 300exc
Heavy side walls make them ideal for low tyre pressure
Cons
very very soft compound that will wear quickly on hard/ rocky surfaces
not DOT approved to cannot be used on the road
little grip on hard surfaces suck as flat track
will wear out in 4-6 rides if used on hard ground
Overall
A great performing tyre that I will personally continue to use as nothing else can beat them. They have good wear if you ride soft to intermediate terrain, and I found they will last upto a year on soft terrain.
Buy these if you are riding soft terrain or sand regularly and do not have to ride on hard surfaces such as rocks and the road.
I would give them a 10 out of 10 for grip but 6 out of 10 for wear and life.
