Tires whats the hot ticket lately?

mitas . new red stripe

its a terrible shame, but very hard to get mitas in the us. they just dont want to offer here. the only mitas ever here are the winter frictions that people import. if they brought mitas here, we could have trelleborg again!

good info, ill check em out. bigger knobs are good on big bores

I ordered the Pirelli m16 front tire. The bigger knobs the better for me so they don't wash out. Once I get to fondle it I may get more. I have the IRC M5B 140/18 for the rear for the 430cr. But that could change.

You will never buy another front tire. People resist trying it because it has an old school tread pattern and doesnt look "cool" like the modern fancy tread patterns, but everyone I have convinced to try one never gets anything else.

have you tried the 216 i have one MITE get a little dirt on it TODAY but it wont be much the mail mans not got me my pegs yet

I'd kick that ahole in the fun nuggets next time you see him...lol
Plus one on the unubtanium 216aa

What is a 216? Never heard of it.

Here's a pic of the GT 257 with three wet rides and one dry ride on it. Maybe 20 hours total on my WR250:


Here's an MT43 (which is not a soft trials tire, but still a trials tire) with about 1000 miles of mixed on and off road on my TE511:


Don't get me wrong, I love the GT 257, but I'm saving it for winter (our winter is rain in the 40s - 50s) riding.

I'm currently running the MotoZ Mountain Hybrid, as our dry season has already started. It is turning out to be a pretty darn good tire. Holding up pretty well. If you like trials tires, this one could be pretty good for you.

That would be the Golden Tyre GT 216 AA front tire. I've got one on my 2 stroke, and I will be ordering one very soon for my 4 stroke. I will never run a different front tire for as long as they still sell them here in the states.

too close need pix s more to the side plus with your vast riding area you rack up miles a lot faster than i can the big local spot here is 3000 acres and has 82 miles of trail but hot showers anybuddy tried a K787?

I want to try a k787, you buying? Haha
I can't find them in stock anywhere.
They look promising.

GT 216 looks like a copy of the Pirelli MXMS/MT32. Thats not a bad thing since the MT32 won a lot of world championships over the years.

hay Kartwheel not to jack the thread but are you the guy that claimed Marty Tripes RC 250?

OOPS JOHN ROEDER NOT DWIGHT RUDDER MY BAD TERRIBLE WHAT TIME DOSE TO THE MIND

LOL, no I'm not John or Dwight, but I do know Dwight very well.

no i know exactly what you mean from running the uni, thats an excellent tread pattern. if you say they have an even bigger lug i will give em a shot, they are about the same price! thanks for the tip

If it has big knobbie old school or not if it works it works.

Look at the size of my knob(s)

1972 rim? What tire?
