The MS3 is good at all, just a bit unpredictable on rocks sometimes. The 403 is great at Naniamo on practice days, but when it is watered I prefer a more open tire. It is also a durable tire.

i guess i should have asked what bikes your riding as well. what works on a mini doesn't work the same on a big bike.

I've got the ms3 on the front of my RM-Z250, and I haven't had it slip out yet, I've ran it at wastelands, campbell, and westshore, and it's done pretty good, and I've been riding Vic the past couple weeks in the muddy deep ruts and it's been doing great in them. But for durability I don't think anyone can beat bridgestones m404, m403 combo, but michelin is right behind them.

Tough as iron but still (amazingly) works well on soft. The Bridgestone 404 works well too, but no match for the Michelin Man!! |
