Michelin Starcross MS3 Tire for Dirt Bikes

How are Michelin Starcross 5 medium terrain tires made?

Like other StarCross 5 tires, the Medium Terrain’s casing is made with high-density materials that actually reduces overall weight by 15%. Plus, the casing is made with Comfort Case Technology (CCT) that gives the tire a very plush feeling as you ride.

Which is better Michelin star cross 5 or Michelin MS3?

Sliding the rear wheel (or backing the rear end in) was more difficult with the Star Cross 5 Soft, as it wanted to bite into the ground more than slide coming into flat corners. Overall, the Star Cross 5 Soft is a better tire than the current Michelin Starcross MS3.

What kind of compounds are in Michelin Starcross 5?

The StarCross 5 line is compiled of Sand, Soft, Medium, and Hard tire compounds each with their own tread patterns.

Which is better Michelin star cross or Dunlop MX32?

Overall, the Star Cross 5 Soft is a better tire than the current Michelin Starcross MS3. Although we haven’t rode them back to back, we think tire cushion on the Star Cross 5 would rival the Dunlop MX32. We will however be doing a comparison on both tires, to see if our hypothesis is correct in an upcoming issue of Dirt Rider Magazine.

Our penultimate choice is another tire from Michelin. It features excellent traction, especially on the kind of loose conditions that are common when you are riding a dirt bike. The knobs are widely spaced to evacuate mud and stop it from sticking.

If you should need, you can reverse the tire to ensure that there is equal traction in both directions. As you would expect from Michelin, the durability is extremely high.
