Tire choices. The tire I would run at the rear is a Pirelli MT43,

[/QUOTE]

just as a matter of interest the MT43 is a trials tread patten
tire that can be used on the road..

Dunlop 803 or Michlin trials light are to soft and melt with any heat
from the seal... and are all over the place in the corners..

i replaced the dunlop 803s on my trials bike as there were only around
1/4 worn I put them on my XR250... melted the rear tire in 15km on the road..

stay with the pirelli MT43 for road use... or a newish trials patten tire out
is the "MotoZ mountain hybrid" it's diffrents to other trials patten roadable tires
is it has a rounded profile un like the square profile of a normal trials tire...
But if yer want insane traction
& don't ride on the seal use the Dunlop 803 or Michlin trials light..
rubber compond & case constuction are for pure trials use...
even high speed offroad use on hard surfaces can over heat them..

So what I'm saying if yer after a trials patten tire... be careful what yer buy
theres trials patten tires & trials tires.. they a completely diffrent animals these days
not like the old days when a trials tire was a trials tire...
