Most dirt bike riders burn through two rear tires for every one front tire. It makes sense since the rear endures much more abuse especially in Motocross. Once the knobs start rounding or you feel loss of grip it's time to change.
If you bought the original rear tire from MotoSport you'll find the replacement right here even if purchased as a combo. If not, don't worry we carry all the name brand dirt bike tire manufacturers so you can grab a new one quick and get back to riding.
Aside from run-down, another reason for switching out the back tire is based on the expected conditions. Some riders install the same brand and style others might use a different brand or terrain type in the front compared to what's rolling in the back. It's all based on personal preference but in some cases like dune riding you'll need to change out your Motocross rear tire for a paddle or sand tire.
