FAQs
Is this tyre street legal?
No, the CST C7212 is designed exclusively for off-road motocross and cross-country competition and is not DOT-approved for street use.
Can I use this for hard-pack motocross tracks?
While it can be used, it is optimized for soft terrain. You will find that a tyre designed for hard-pack will perform better and last longer on those specific surfaces.
What is the 51M rating?
The 51 represents the load index (195 kg capacity), and the M represents the speed rating (up to 130 km/h or 81 mph).
Does this tyre come with an inner tube?
This is a tube-type tyre and requires a compatible inner tube, which is sold separately.
How do I ensure the correct rotation?
Look for the rotation indicator arrows molded into the sidewall of the tyre. Align these with the direction of the wheel's rotation on your bike.
Troubleshooting
Tyre feels unstable on hard-pack transitions
The C7212 is a soft-terrain specialist. If you encounter hard surfaces, consider reducing speed or adjusting tyre pressure slightly to increase the contact patch.
Rapid tread wear
Check your terrain profile. Using soft-terrain tyres on abrasive, hard-packed ground or paved sections will significantly decrease the lifespan of the rubber.
Vibration at high speeds
Ensure the tyre is properly seated on the rim and verify that the wheel is balanced. Misalignment during installation is a common cause of high-speed vibration.

- May show faster wear if used on paved surfaces
- Specific to 16-inch wheel configurations
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify that your motorcycle is equipped with a 2.15 x 16 rim before installation. This tyre is designed for the 90/100-16 specification; mismatching rim widths can affect the tyre profile and handling characteristics. When installing, ensure the rotation arrows on the sidewall match the direction of travel to ensure the tread pattern functions as intended. For care, regularly inspect the tread for embedded rocks or debris after rides. Maintain correct tyre pressure based on your specific terrain conditions, as running too low on pressure in sand may lead to rim damage, while too high may reduce the footprint and traction.
