There’s a lot more technology that goes into dirtbike tires than people realize. Just like all tires, the rubber compound is the most significant. The three most common types are soft, mid-soft, and hard. Which dirt bike tire do you need? That depends on your riding conditions. The compound should match your terrain. So, if you’re going to be riding in muddy conditions you would want a soft tire. Mid-soft is ideal when you have a little of both, soft and hard terrain. And naturally hard tires should be reserved for harder surfaces like desert sand which puts a lot of abuse on knobby tires.
In Virginia it is uncommon to need a hard terrain tire so we would generally recommend a mid-soft or soft tire. Regardless of the compound, dirtbike tires are not designed to be used on asphalt and will wear extremely fast. If you find yourself on asphalt frequently you may want to consider a dual sport or enduro tires that are D.O.T. rated for asphalt.
