some of you may know i just recently bought a set of artrax mxt-r(?) tires and there was a few requests for a ride report. keep in mind, i've never ridden on anything else except baloons, and bald mx tires. anyways. they are a good tire, and where i was riding yesterday, there was a lot of hard pack dirt, sand, mud, loose dirt, ruts from bikes and all that. these tires didnt even struggle to get me through any of it. they are so predictable around turns. my conclusion, if anyone is looking for a cheap tire, these are the ones to get. they are very nice for the money
