      tires to me, I like new ones
      if I'm riding the T1(tour of Idaho), I'm using Kenda Parker DT(using nuetech mousse)
      if riding slab to local trails(and single track) Tusk Dsport with TuBliss, the Dsports are fine 8psi front, 5psi in the rear.
      Pirelli scorps, love them too, but more $ and I only get 800 to 1000 miles on them if easy riding, D606 rear gets it done too.
      less grip, wears longer, motoz desert HT, even with Tubliss, the southern T1 with its climbs are a bit more challenging but still doable.
      I burn through more parker DTs than anything, but post covid, rears are up 30% in price, I think due to availability.
      overall .we are lucky to have lots of good tires!

    Thanks for the review. Great info for certain. I have a WR250R, and I ride pretty much only off road, maybe a quick in the neighborhood test run occasionally. I've been running the D606 rear and MT21 front and have been pretty happy with the setup. It can definitely sketchy on sand and mud if you don't have the pressures down to lower, around 12 to 15 is where I normally run them.. Where I ride most of the time, the Red River Motorcycle Trails there is a wide variety of terrain from sandy, muddy, rocky, and roots.. you name it. This setup has done pretty good overall. The front is still in good shape after one season of riding, and the read is about ready for a refresh. I am thinking about going with a Michelin StarCross 5 medium rear after I get the state inspection done.

    Hello Fortnine. Good review. Thank you!
    I've tried the AC-10, D606, Kenda Parker, Pirelli Scorpion Pro. My friend has done the AC-10 and T-63. The T-63 rear is freakishly small compared to other tires of the same size and they also wear quickly on the road from what my friend says. I ride mostly desert and 98% dirt. My favorite front is the Pirelli Scorpion Pro. Very confidence inspiring. I like the Kenda Parker DT rear. Scorpion Pro rear is good but has FIM sized knobbies which aren't as tall as the Kenda DT.
    For this year's LA Barstow to Vegas I may do a Trackmaster 2 rear and Scorpion Pro front.

    Trackmaster all the way! Use them on my 1999 WR400 and my 2003 WR450. Gone through three sets of them and also a set of Metzelers, Dunlops and Pirellis. The Kendas lasted the longest with no chunking like you mentioned and also great grip, even on the road. They’re also the cheapest! Just realized this video is 4 years old! Oh Well, the Kendas are still my favourites. The chunking issue must have been resolved some time ago. They’ve been great the last two years.

    I just went from Mitas E-07s to Michelin Anakee Wilds. Love the look of the Wilds on my bike and it feels more gripped up on and off road. At higher speeds the Wilds can wander a little bit but it’s a fair trade off since it feels so much more planted to the ground. I use my bike less off-road than I’d like (town commuter and gravel roads), if I were riding single track enduro style I’d probably want something more aggressive.

    been running 606's on my rmx for a few years and your right the front tyre has crap feel onroad but the rear is a very impressive tyre.
    did a 2 week offroad ride back in 2013 up to cape york and on the 3rd day my chain guard broke of and carved a 3-5mm deep groove through the rear tyres sidewall. it didnt loose air and i rode the rest of an extremely punishing trip on it.
    wasnt untill this year that it finaly failed me after riding around fraser island in the sand for 2 days at low pressure the sidewall must have failed without me noticing as the case is so rigid and the bike so light.
    wasnt untill a month later when i wheeled the bike out of the shed to check pressures did I realize what had happened.
    cant recomend this tyre enough.
    allso run t63s on a ttr230 , which is a great onroad tyres but bad in sand.
    About to try the pirreli Mt21 rallycross on a Dr200.

    I've got the Pirelli MT21's on my XT225. They carve up off road very well, and I've used them in hare scrambles without lacking for traction. Then on the flip side of that, I've cornered so hard on the street with them, I've scraped my saddle bags. They're a very confident tire. The only way I can get that XT on a 65mph freeway near me is to take the ramp (Marked 25mph) going flat out (60-70mph) just because I won't be able to accelerate on the straight portion of the ramp quick enough.
    The front tire has very bad uneven wear, where one side of the nubs wears faster than the other, but the tire can be reversed. I won't be reversing mine, since I'm in the market for fresh ones before I take my dual sport to an arenacross race. And I haven't ruled out the MT21's.

    After some research, I ordered a dunlop d606 rear, and a pirelli mt21 front. I haven't tried them yet. But your recommendation sure makes me feel more confident in the choice.
    Currently, I've got a full set of kenda k270's and I honestly love them on and off road. I can corner like a sport bike (though I can't reach those speeds) and off road, I don't have the grip to wheelie in loose dirt, but I make it everywhere real dirtbikes go. If my new set doesn't live up to the kendas, I'll be going back.

I'm asking because I'm looking for a tire for my WR250R which will be more less 80off/20on, mosty light to intermediate terrain and I think more sand then rocks. I do however use the bike to move around the city from time to time, and I do have to reach the offroad areas as well, hence tne 20. I like the AC10s but with all these choices I'm at a loss a bit :)

    I put something similar on my DRZ-400S, it’s the fattest tire I have put on yet, it’s a Metzeler DOT 120/100-18” fat nobby tire. But I really wanted to try it out, it changed my ratio and now my rpms are a lot lower on the street. I like it, it doesn’t feel solid on the turns so you just have to take it easy but that fat tire fits!! And my bike looks way more tuff, it’s a cool look with that fat nobbys.
    I running a 15 tooth/44 tooth sprocket ⚙️. If anyone was wondering.

    Haven't watched it yet but the way is a Trackmaster rear and Pirelli Mt front. DOT approved and goes through anything. You will replace the rear tire every 600-1000 miles but they only cost $60--80usd. One bad crash in mud has convinced me to just buy a tire that works in the worst conditions I ride in.

    Hello, just wonder between Dunlop EN 91 vs AT 81 vs D 606 …
    The EN 91 at road would last as the AT 81 ?
    Between these two and the D 606 , at Off road ?

    What are your opinions on the shinko 244s if you have heard of them?

  • @ImNotStalkingYou

    Shinko 700's are hard to beat. Cheap, good mileage, alternating knobs so they're smooth on the highway, great on dirt roads. I get about 3,000 miles out of the back, 4,000 out of the back.

    I was pretty disappointed to find that you guys don't stock the t63. What would you recommend to take its place then?

    Since you are a neighbor from the north, I figured I'd make a comparison between the Michelin Desert Race what I personally view as its 4-wheeled vehicle DOT equal; the Toyo M55. They're both tires that will cost you $300+ as of today, and both are equally hard to find any significant information on (probably both produced in small quantities) however I've NEVER heard anything negative about either tire. Most reviews on the M55 are from oilfield workers in rural Canada, and say they outlast the truck they're fitted on commonly. Having owned a a set for ≥30k miles, often with 7-10k lbs. in tow behind, I'd assume they aren't lying. Personally haven't owned a Michelin yet because I haven't had any desire to do much off-road but with a few years experience I'm a bit more comfortable taking the LRP off road. But I personally believe either of these I mentioned are assuredly the best "cannot afford any issues/SHTF" tires for their respective vehicles (4WD Trucks/Vehicles or Dirt/Dual-Sport Bikes) even though the average consumer might have a heart attack from the sticker shock. 2 examples where you really do get what you pay for.

    what do you think about the Karoo 3? or the TKC 80? for a 800+cc bike

    • @FortNine
      @FortNine  7 років тому +7

      I prefer TKC80s pretty much everywhere, but they also cost more than they should. K60s will give you better mileage for your $, especially on a 800+cc bike. Shinko makes the E804/E805, which is essentially a TKC80 rip-off. That also offers more bang for your buck, and handles about the same as a TKC80. I talk about some of this stuff in these videos: ua-cam.com/video/HvN913Zv6SM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/7YV0UzL68oU/v-deo.html. Cheers! ~RyanF9

    OK. I ordered some Michelin Desert Race tires for my '02 Honda XR650R, a 90/90-21 Front and a 140/80-18. I seriously hope these things hang as I'm riding about 4 miles on the street to the desert, where I have 220 square miles of the most inhospitable desert environment known to man!!!
