I have a set on my YTM225, seem too stiff for a hardtail. I would get something with a more flexible sidewall (your back with thank you). My 185 has Cheng Shin's on the back, they work good.

I would probably use the strykers on a 185 if they were near free or I already had them.. Dont waste the money on a new set.. They are so heavy and stiff its not even funny... even at low psi they will spin on the wheel before the carcass will flex enough to hook.. I bolted a set I had onto my quadracer and it felt like I lost 50hp and was riding a basketball... hills I could pull in 3rd gear before became a 1st gear show.. They look cool(i guess) and might do well in deep mud, but your hard earned money would be better spent on something better...

I had a set on my Big Red which I later put on a 200M. They were ok in dry sand, sucked hard in wet sand, did awesome in mud, and wasnt a bad looking tire(coughtrailprocough).
Id bet if they were turned around, they would have done better in the wet/dry sand, but I never got a chance to do that.

Do a search for tires, there's a wealth of information on 3ww.
Here's a start
