I nearly bit the bullet today. Rolling at 15 mph on a basic wet dirt road. Front washed out so quick on me I had no time to react. Only my knee jerk reaction of the foot getting to the ground with the bikes weight pounding behind it kept me from dropping it. It was like hitting black ice on the highway. Reaffirms my thoughts that these type of 80/20 tires are just exactly that. 60/40 rating is the way to go. As soon as you throw any wetness or gravel at these tires they stop doing their job. I pulled over right after and the pattern on both were completely caked over. In actual mud.. it’s lights out.

I believe the mixed set he talks about at the end is probably one of our best options. The 805’s or TKC80’s are what I’m liking but definitely considering the Pirelli offerings.

so many tires sooo hard to choose :cry: well im down to 3 choices thanks to all of you 1 the most likely ill choose is a kenda track master in the rear https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...2QX59NLJ&psc=1
and a motoz tractionator in the front https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...CWI1WBOD&psc=1 second choice that also i like alot is the pirelli mt21 thanks to chiptoothy for both front and rear. tho they are slightly more expensive and my last choice that i think are slightly better for the longer road rides is a irc tr8 battle rally in the front and a motoz mountain hybrid in the rear https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...XRRCX4P2&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...CWI1WBOD&psc=1 thanks for all the help guys ill let you know in the spring what i choose and how well they perform ! |

let us know what you end up getting and how well you like them. My TT250 is going to be run probably 95% dirt/gravel/cinder roads, wet and dry. Sounds like I will be at least wanting to change out the front tire if you are experiencing washouts easily.
