[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1381433, member: 104942"] After agonzing for a while, I ended up with a Continental Gelande Sport rear... (not where I bought them, this is a local place to me in Dayton) [url]http://www.tiresunlimited.com/ALL%20TIRES/Continental/conti_gelande_sport.htm[/url] It's an intermediate MX tire, but I use it for fun enduro riding. I was worried that it was going to end up being an entertaining but expensive experiment with a "race tire", but after maybe 5 all day outings on some pretty nasty / rocky terrain (interspersed with Ohio slime clay) they are holding up very well. It hooks up very well on both rocks and do well with mud, and I have not ripped off any knobs yet. To be honest, I bought them on tread pattern alone... I wanted big wide knobs (so they didn't wear too quick) with a big open pattern (so the mud would clear easily). I'll see how they wear after a full season, but so far I am very happy with it. For my front, I have a left over Kenda Trackmaster II that I had on an old KLR-250. I got that one because it was a cheap street legal knobbie, and it seems to be working fine up there as well, though it clogs pretty easily. My riding buddies were experimenting with the Tera Flex (the new Chinese ones), and we actually got one on a KDX-220. On the plus side, we must have forgotten to tighten the rim lock, and on his first ride he spun the valve right out of the tube. We tightened down the rim lock back at the truck, and he kept riding with no air and did fine (no rim damage, decent hookup). So those "terror flex" super stiff sidewalls did their job in a run flat scenario. On the down side, those same uber stiff sidewalls makes them a BEAR to mount, especially if it is cold out. And he has also already ripped off one knob. So I'd take my Conti's over his Terra flex so far. On my KLR-250, I was using the Kenda Trackmaster rear, which wasn't half bad for a street legal knobbie. The pattern was close together and would clog up, and on the KLR-250 (17 RWHP on a good day) they were very difficult to clear when things got really ugly. But for mixed street and dirt they did better then I would have expected. I'm no expert though, so I welcome a good tire thread, especially for pure offroad. [/QUOTE]
