MICHELIN recreationnal/leisure tire choice?

[ruca]

As usual, this is my favorite site to seek advice especially since I'm riding Gas Gas!
I recently changed the stock oem MICHELIN Enduro Comp.(they were great but were finished too fast on the rock/hard pack i ride) for MICHELIN AC10 to grab a bargain price of 126$ the pair, i chose the rear 110/100-18 rear because of having a 2.15 rear rim and since then they held up great i have no complaints plus its street legal which is a bonus since Ive got licence plate on and insurance might as as well have DOT mx tires
A curious detail was the bike seemed short geared(more torque less top speed, is this due to the XXX/100-XX profile?
Next IL try thees new XC s12/m12, witch combination you recommend? On this side of "the pond" people tend to use soft_front/intermediate_rear, but it seems you guys prefer the opposite! and with what profile should I be better of for tail ridding, XX/90(80)-XX or XX/100-XX?

The standard fronts are DOT and i rate them as the best on the market enduro comp 3, the rear 140/80 has a larger rolling dia and you will have less top speed, put a 14 tooth front sprocket on to counter this.

Stay away from M12's they are horrible.

Already did that a couple off rides before cause i went to ride in southwestern Portugal were the terrain is more open and was impressed, i rearlly shifted to 6th, something with the 12/48 combo i was always in(5th/6th and looking for 7th) the bike now goes forward not front end up nor rear end sideways each gear lasts longer even in intermediate steep long loose rock climbs, but i still have to test very steep climbs to see if she only gets up with 1st gear and clutch work So the way to go is Endu Comp or S12, how about this... doesn't the thread seem familiar? Portugal Promo price of 100$ pair.

A larger tire has a higher top speed. It has a longer roll out distance. So no dont put a 14 tooth front sprocket on it.
