My buddy ran the Geomax MX51 on the rear. Great traction, but it melted. Not literally, but it was gone in a coulple of rides. So if you want to buy a new tire every other ride they are great.

i ran an mx51 1 time. it wore out so fast it was ridiculous (like 4 hours trail ride time). on the other hand, the mx31 is awesome. i'm getting 8 hours RACE time out of them. that's really good for me, i trash tires, and replace them too early - but my trail ride buddies love me, they get my takeoffs.....

I also love the MX 31. Front and rear, a fantastic gripper.

MX31 looks like the go.Noobi rides same stuff so will check how it's wearing.

I've currently got Pirelli Scorpion MS on front. Pretty happy with it - it replaced the original Michelin enduro comp which was OK in the grassy stuff but not on wet clay. On the rear now have Bridgestone M404 which is going well. Did have a scorpion which replaced original as per front - The original tyre sizing was weird - the front was too small and the rear was huge. Handling improved when I ditched those. The rear scorpion I didn't like - seemed a lot of sideways slip. Anyway I killed it with too little pressure - it developed diagonal "waves" in the side walls, and when I pulled it off heaps of the cords were floating around loose inside.
"How much pressure have you been running?" said the guy at cycletreads.
"Same as I always have" I said. "Let it down till it looks flat , then let some more out" I said.
"Wanker" he said.
" I can ride past guys who are stuck" I said.
"Wanker" he said.
After handing over many, many dollars for the new tyre, I now agree with him. I now run super high pressures - 10 maybe even 12 psi. ( no wonder every body gets stuck and falls off, I say (to myself)).

I ran 7psi front and rear at thunder cross once after it had rained a lot. Didnt have any traction issues and they didnt go flat, but there arent many tree roots or rocks at thunder to pinch flat on, and I weigh about 50kg.
We do free fitting at MR

7 to 10 would be fine in the winter, especially with your weight. Depends in the terrain a bit. maybe 10 to 15 in the summer when you' re going hard out.
A good thing about getting pinch flats due to low pressure is it teaches you to de-weight the pegs, and control the throttle a bit more.

Go with the Tubliss system for your tires and you can forget about pinch flats no matter how little pressure you run.
