Just got these...new Michelin Starcross 5 in the medium compound.
Knobs look taller, bigger and wider (to my eye) than the Dunlop 32 (S3 or whatever they are calling it now).
I also noticed the unique spacing where 2 rear knobs are closer together then the next 4 are spaced normally. Rear tire wasn't that tough to mount.
I've read where users felt they had slightly better tractions and longer wear than the Dunlop 32.
They also have tires with different compounds, patterns and knob height for soft, hard and sand tracks
but this pattern looks like it would work pretty well around here as well as Red Bud's sandy soil.
I've never ridden on Michelins before. Honestly never heard much good about them but supposedly these are a huge change from the previous series.
Really looking forward to getting these dirty!
