Does anybody have some feedback on a 120/100-18 Maxxis desert IT? I currently have a 110/100 but was considering the bigger tire for my 2006 FE450E. I mostly do single track in Arizona.
thanks

I had one in that exact size on my bike.
It's a pretty good tire most everywhere.
Works well at low pressures as its a fairly stout tire.
I kept it at 16-18 psi for most dual sport rides.
It's a fair bit taller, and definitely wider than other 120 series tires.
You will probably like it as it will make your bike more responsive.
As a bonus, it sticks surprisingly well on tarmac for a knobbie if you're into that kind of thing.

I was told by an old school Berg guy that trials tires were the king. He sweares by them .
Anyone else ?
Dude says they grip like crazy & last also, not sure if DOT though.

He's likely referring to the rear MT43 which is a great DOT "trials type" tire IMO.
Ups-They are great on smaller bikes especially on tight trails, and wear well.
Downs- Not a great desert tire, soft side walls, spin if ridden aggressively on big bores especially in sand or loose terrain.
