Tires-What Sneakers Do You Run On Your Bike?

Something like that could be an often used dream feature for a 4 stroke tire...

..............or supply them free of charge so that you can save a few quid for your next astronomically priced engine re-build,

..............or design them to absorb noise so that the land in use is not closed to off-roaders for ever due to noise pollution,

..............or create some new lightweight space age material for the tyres so that the damn bikes themselves don't feel so heavy,


.........the opportunities are endless!

How about a 12 volt winch and a really long cable for the front end? That way, the rider could just carry the hook out and the dead 4 stroke could drag itself home?

As an aside, Kenda do a 120 rear in both 18 and 19 inch and I actually had to stop fitting these as they had too much grip which caused all sorts  of problems but it shows how good a tyre they are.

I have the 120/18 on my TM and find it great. . I need the traction.
They are actually the same width as a 130 Pirelli's. I have found that with some tyres the sizeing doesn't match the actual size.
The Michelin's we have been getting have been made in either Thailand/Phillipeans for a few years now.
We had a bad bunch a few years back that were losing knobs.
My local dealer says they are good quality now.

P.S MMS I was wondering how many countries got the kendas. Yes very good.

Which ones are on sale?

Kidding.  I'm running a 756 rear and Kenda Budds Creek Sticky up front. Sorry can't remember the Model number for the Kenda off hand, but the raised Yellow letters look kinda cool.

Those two are working fine for right now. I'm sure once my speed increases and I get on different surfaces my opinion will change.

I have Kenda's on my mountain bike and they are performing well.How many of you are running Michelin trials tires on the rear of your offroad scoot?

I stick with Metzlers,Dunlops and Pirellis for offroad riding.

I'm running Maxxis "maxxcross EN's" on my Katoom right now and they've been holding up great and have excellent traction in the mountains & trails I've been riding.

I run what is on the article.

MX51's they are great from tacky prepped in the morning moto's to dried and beat afternoon moto's and they last way longer than 403, 404's
