Hmm, I wonder if it'll do better than the 600-700 miles I got out of my non-DOT Motoz. I'm back on Pirelli MT 21's and they're wearing a lot better. I put down too many street miles for the regular Motoz
FIM legal sucks since it limits the tread depth to something like 14mm. if I'm buying a tire I want the max tread depth possible for wear reasons,so I can get the most mileage for the $$$$.
Any news Kelly...last year I got an Enduro IT front from you and love it ... when my Pirelli MT21 Trials rear needs replaced, I'm planning on an Enduro IT rear...120-90-18 and if it was DOT that would be even better. I occasionally ride blacktop on my TE.
Unless I miss my guess, a tire approved by DOT or not is pretty much just the red tape and money involved in getting DOT approval by the manufacturer isn't it? I've had a DOT approved rear knobby that was so agressive looking you'd swear it wouldn't be DOT approved (forget the brand) before I put my MT21 trials tire on (which by the way isn't DOT and looks like it should be). What I'm getting at here is I hope Motoz isn't compromising the awesome tires they're making in any way - traction or rubber compound - to get DOT approval. Do you know if the tread pattern and compound will be the same as the tried-and-true tires you currently have? If not, I may buy one of the old non-DOT approved tires from you.
I do not know the details yet and have not seem them. I had hoped they would be here by now. But, i believe they will be much like the standard IT tires which is to say very good.
Definitely interested, if they come in TE630 sizes! I loved the non-dots, but I ripped through them too quickly. Pavement eats them alive. If they're built to withstand more pavement miles, I might give them another go.
Any news yet on these tires? Kelly you have any non dot tires in? I want to pick up a few as my tractionator is well worn.
Manufacturing issues pushed everything back is what i am told. There are ST's in stock, thats about it.
No, feel left out in the cold. It is a manufacturing issue on the entire line, not sure whats up. No inventory still. Told "soon"
