Built for rear-wheel performance, this tire uses a specialized tread layout to help maintain grip through mud, loose soil, grass, and sand. The 90\/100-16 51M tire size provides a fit for compatible off-road motorcycles, while the StarCross 5 Soft model is engineered to deliver confident acceleration and handling in changing terrain conditions. The MICHELIN brand brings proven tire development expertise to this high-performance soft-terrain application.\u003cbr\u003eThe StarCross 5 Soft features Mud-Phobic Bars that help improve self-cleaning performance by reducing the buildup of mud and dirt between the knobs. Keeping the tread more open and functional allows the tire to maintain contact with the riding surface, supporting consistent traction when conditions become wet, loose, or heavily rutted. This design is especially useful for motocross riders navigating soft tracks where packed debris can quickly reduce acceleration and rear-wheel drive.\u003cbr\u003eIntermediate tread blocks are arranged in staggered rows to provide feedback across varying lean angles. This arrangement helps the tire maintain predictable behavior as the motorcycle transitions through corners, berms, and uneven terrain. The tread is specifically developed for performance across a broader range of softer surfaces, including firm soil, grass, mud, and sand, making it a versatile choice for demanding off-road use. The manufacturer and vendor part number for this MICHELIN tire is 36489, ensuring accurate product identification when selecting a compatible replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMud-Phobic Bars help maximize tread cleaning capability and reduce mud and dirt buildup between the knobs.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStaggered intermediate tread blocks provide traction and rider feedback through varying lean angles.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSoft-terrain tread design supports high performance on firm soil, grass, mud, and sand.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRear motocross tire configuration is designed to support acceleration, control, and predictable handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTire size 90\/100-16 with a 51M service description; manufacturer and vendor part number 36489.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MICHELIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49388403130603,"sku":"03130744","price":91.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/3882\/9547\/files\/734186.png?v=1789028513","url":"https:\/\/ctracingservices.com\/products\/michelin-starcross-5-soft-rear-tire-90-100-16-51m-part-number-36489","provider":"Cascade Tire \u0026 Racing Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
