    Just an FYI. I just installed a bridgestone ED03 DOT knobby today and it totally transforms the Terra for off road work. The front now is planted and confidence inspiring. I can't wait to wear out the stock rear so I can install the Pirelli MT21 I have coming in. Hell who am I kidding the stock rear isn't going to last long after the Pirelli gets here.
    If you do any kind of off road it's the single biggest improvement you can make. Just fit whatever brand or flavor DOT knobby you prefer and you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face! :cheers:

    Good choice and that rear looks gnarly! It's the single biggest improvement you can do if you plan on going off road imo. I have only installed the front knobby thus far and the rear fish tails around but I can deal with that as I'm in the sand and it's not hilly here but if I was in rocks,mud or hills full knobbies are the only answer otherwise you're bound to find yourself upside down. :eek:

    I didn't think the 606 came in a 140 rear? I'm guessing you slapped a 130 on instead. How's that doing?

    Ya you're correct, 130 rear works great. Now I just need to do something with the suspension.
