These are my go to tires for Michigan trails. I absolutely love them and they are a night and day handling improvement over the stock AT81s. I run these front and rear, 80/100x21 and 120/100x18 respectively. I currently have 74 hours and 1,010 miles on this set, riding mostly 50" inch wide sandy to hard pack, rooty Michigan trails at an aggressive pace. The front has 85% of the lug height and the rear is at 76%. I've ridden these on different terrain including sand, loam, hard pack, gravel, mud and even through 8" of late spring snow ranging hard crusty to wet and slushy.
I only have two complaints.
1. The front tire can be like riding on an ice skate when angling/turning sharply across wet roots, especially in the fall, but I'm not sure any tire except a super soft gummy tire would grip well in the same conditions.
2. The cost has increased dramatically over the past 4 - 5 years compared to other brands. I was hoping prices would start to drop post-COVID but they have not. However, given the miles I get out of them they are still a very good investment, just not quite to the level they were when prices were lower.
Overall, these are great tires and I will continue putting them on my bike.

Wow! Does it hook! This tire rips the dirt to pieces. Huge upgrade! Great at cornering too.

Good replacement for old worn out tires.
I replaced the rounded off tires as part of a rebuild for an older bike. Excellent aggressive tread pattern. I will see how it holds up but Maxxis usually does just fine for the soft woods riding in my area.

Good harescramble tire!! I used it one the mx3s from Dunlop went away. Usually use 120/80/18 great tire hooks up well. Soft/intermediate terrain is true for this tire.

This tire looks amazing & grips even better. I rode roughly 85 miles Saturday with no obvious signs of wear. I would definitely recommend this tire for trail riding.

Ive had many, many hours of ride time on this tire and it still looks brand new. Was recommended Maxxis due to long lifespan and man that was no lie. Also grips great at my favorite local track.

Dont buy this tire if you ride in deep sand
Not a huge fan of this tire for the front of my bike. I ride a lot of deep sand and someone told me to try the maxxis. It would do well in softer loam type soil though. Back to Dunlop which hooks in everything Ive ridden on
