Description
Starcross 6 - 2022 off-road tires from tire specialist Michelin
The Starcross 6 is the successor to the Starcross 5 with even more grip and greater durability.
The Starcross is available in several versions. The MUD is designed for muddy terrains, The SAND is for sandy ground with optimum traction and for improved handling.
For terrains with loose to slightly muddy soil, the Starcross 6 MEDIUM SOFT are ideal.
For mixed soils (irrigated hard soil, hard soil with loose subsoil) there is the Starcross 6 MEDIUM HARD. This tire is suitable for almost all terrains, it offers an excellent compromise in almost all track conditions because its tread is very versatile.
The Starcross 6 HARD is ideal for hard and dry soils. The tread ensures excellent grip on very hard (or stony) grounds, which is usually the case in summer. Its service life is the best of all tires in the Starcross range, as the rubber compound and design ensure very slow wear.
Please note: For very powerful motorcycles, it is recommended to use a wider rear tire to put as much power as possible on the ground and avoid slipping when exiting corners.
Example: 125cc 2-stroke MX -> Tire 100/90-19. 250cc 4-stroke -> Tire 100/90-19 to 110/90-19. 450cc 4-stroke -> Tire 110/90-19 to 120/90-19.
Note: The tires are not approved for road use!
Tires are an essential part of a motorcycle, scooter or moped. The choice of tire has an impact on handling, grip, fuel consumption, but most importantly, the right tire ensures onroad and offroad safety.
Check the condition of your tires
It is therefore important to replace the tires of your two-wheeler when the tread approaches the tire wear indicator (the small ridges in the grooves of the tread) or you notice damage such as cracks or deformations on the sidewalls of the tire. To check the condition of a tire, simply run your finger along the grooves at the front and rear. In the middle of the grooves there is a tire wear indicator on the tread (approx. 1/2 cm long notch). If the surface of the tire is at the level of the wear indicator, the tires must be replaced.
Scooter tires
Scooter tires are usually slightly smaller than motorcycle tires and are designed to offer very good stability and optimum riding comfort on the road.
Motorcycle tires
There is a variety of sizes and profiles of motorcycle tires, each designed for riding style, weather conditions and type of terrain. The tires for a motocross bike differ significantly from the tires for a classic street bike.
Moped tires
Moped tires are often smaller and narrower than scooter and motorcycle tires, but still offer secure grip and reliable durability.
When choosing a new tire, you must stick to the size of the original tire and then choose the right tire for the intended use. Don't forget to replace the inner tube, rim tape and tire valve if necessary.
