    Hi, looking for a new rear tire for my 200xcw. Just wondering if anyone has used a hybrid rear tire? I am looking for something that will wear well, and hook up on slimy/rooty/rocky stuff. I had a lot of trouble at Buffalo Mountain this weekend using a worn Motoz ST enduro tire, but I think it was mostly the operator.

    I'll take any comments good or bad. Thanks

    I run starcross 5 mediums most of the time with my 200, the only exception being my rear sand tire but only because they don't have an 18". They've lasted me much longer than S12xc's did.
