I have been using Maxxis tires, I like them.
On my CRF250R I have found soft f/r to work best for me.
I think most middleweight guys are running soft front and med. rear.
The price is low on these tires, so I am able to get new tires more often. I think this is better than spending more on a set and using them past their useful heat cycles.

Stookes' speed is a moving target... I was able to tail him at the beginning of the year, but by October he was way out of my league.

The Intermediate is the dry/wet tire... not a slick, and not a rain, but in between. So a medium Intermediate is about as sticky as a soft slick, but it has grooves in it for some damp pavement action, and has more bite in the dirt. Don't run a soft or supersoft Intermediate tire on dry pavement... it will tear or chunk after eight laps.
I was behind him long enough for me to read "Stookes" across the back of his leathers. If his name was any longer I wouldn't have had the time to finish reading it.
I just picked up a set of Maxxis Intermediates (F&R) from eBay. $169 shipped.
