Sizes4
Cut-and-chip-resistant compound holds up against jagged rocks and abrasive desert surfaces where softer rubber falls apart fast
Stiffened carcass construction limits sidewall flex and dramatically reduces pinch-flat risk on rocky, technical terrain
Tall, aggressive knob profile bites hard in sand, hardpack, and intermediate desert conditions for confident forward drive
Knob spacing geometry sheds debris efficiently without sacrificing edge grip through corners
Broad fitment across Yamaha, KTM, Honda, and AJP off-road platforms — from 125cc two-strokes to 450cc four-stroke enduros
Extended wear life in abrasive environments means fewer tire changes between long desert runs

Best For
Desert Explorer
You're logging 50 to 150 miles through remote backcountry with no support vehicle in sight. You need a tire that won't fail you mid-ride — the M7305D's puncture-resistant build and durable compound are exactly what remote desert routes demand.
Perfect Match
Enduro Racer (Rocky Terrain)
Racing enduro stages with heavy rock sections means your tire takes a beating every lap. The M7305D handles sharp impacts and technical rocky terrain without the catastrophic failures that softer tires are prone to — grip and survival in one package.
Great Match
Soft-Terrain Specialist
If your riding is mostly deep loam, soupy mud, or soft sand, the M7305D's stiffer compound and construction aren't optimized for you. A dedicated soft-terrain tire with more knob flex and a grippier compound will outperform it in those conditions.
Consider Maxxis MaxxCross SI or similar soft-terrain tire

Frequently Asked
It handles sand reasonably well, but its real strength is mixed desert terrain — hardpack, rocks, and intermediate conditions. If you're spending most of your time on pure dunes, a purpose-built paddle or soft-terrain tire with more flotation will serve you better. The M7305D is the smarter call when the terrain changes unpredictably.
The stiffer sidewall means you'll feel more feedback through sharp edges and rough sections compared to a standard off-road tire — that's the trade-off for dramatically better puncture resistance. Most desert and enduro riders consider it a worthwhile compromise, especially when a pinch flat 80 miles from the trailhead isn't an option.
Most riders land in the 12–14 psi range for general desert use, balancing traction and sidewall protection. The stiffer carcass gives you a bit more wiggle room to run lower pressures without excessive roll, but dial it in based on your weight, the specific terrain, and your bike's suspension setup.
It'll get around an MX track, but it's not built for that environment. The harder compound and stiff construction sacrifice some of the raw grip and compliance that a dedicated MX tire provides on berms and ruts. Keep this tire where it belongs — desert trails, enduro stages, and backcountry routes.
Riders regularly report 800 to 1,200 miles on abrasive desert terrain, which is well ahead of what softer-compound alternatives typically deliver. The cut-resistant rubber and tall knobs both contribute to that extended life. Actual mileage depends on terrain aggression, rider weight, and riding style.
Yes — the Maxxcross Desert IT is confirmed fitment for the YZ250FX along with a wide range of popular off-road bikes from Yamaha, KTM, Honda, and AJP. Just double-check that the specific size you're ordering matches your wheel diameter and rim width before you buy.
