    Never heard of differing molds for a specific tire? Kinda confusing and misleading i guess. I would rather not have a softy anyway, doesnt last long in HS in ohio. My AT81 didnt last long and i went to a perelli MT16, a bit tougher

    Already i like this tire just in looks, its a good concept of higher profile, it can do alot in my conditions of rock,mud,roots and high speed back stretch jitters over farm fields. I cant wait! Im testing it at Lightning Race way in Tippecanoe Ohio, everyone knows this track is designed to weed out the weak. Owner is an seasoned HS racer

    Some of the AA tires say HB, some don't. The DST is a different, but still awesome do it all tire. You'll digg it!

    DST has a slightly stiffer side wall which warrants the speed certification. All of the 216 front tires are FIM and DOT rated. The idea behind the DST from what I'm told is that it can stand up better to long pavement runs and bigger bikes. I've had this tire in snow, mud, rocks, soft deep sitly pumice sand, of course some regular dirt and pavement too.

    Looks like the regular 216 is a 2ply and the DST is a desert version which is a 4ply. Both same tread pattern and compound

    The Kenda Parker is good too. It's a slightly harder compound than the Washougal so it wears better/longer on harder surfaces and rocks. I typically run mine at 8 - 10 psi w/the Moose super heavy duty tubes for single track in the woods; 12-14 psi for the occasional high speed desert stuff. At 8-10 psi the side knobs start peeling off before you wear the middle down. I've gotten over 1,200 miles each on my last 2 Parker fronts. Also got over 1,000 miles on my last Washougal front. Parker is DOT; Washougal is not.
