[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 140942, member: 21"] You don't want a trials tire on the front in the desert. The rear is fine, but it's not for everyone. I hated the Pirelli XCMH front. I bought it because it had the rep of the side knobs not shearing off. While the side knobbies stayed attached, the traction was horrible. Can you say understeer and washing out? It's amazing to me how different bikes react to the same tire. My Beta has better front grip with a MT21 than my XR600 had with any tire. Come to think about it, the XCMH might work on the Beta while it was a long lasting disaster on the XR. [/QUOTE]
