Title: 17" Rear tyres
Post by: GeoffM on September 17, 2012, 08:08:23 pm

Hello All,
I need a couple of 17" rear tyres for my Huskies.

I have a WR390 and an XC430 both in need of rear rubber.

The only thing I've been able to find on the web is a Dunlop farm tyre.

What do others use?

Geoff

Dunlop 606 is what I use on my DR650 for on/off road. It's a good all rounder

Dunlop K190 is also worth looking out for. Best bet is to ditch the 17 inch rims and fit 18 inch wheels. Great tyre choice then available.

My mate recently tracked down a Pirelli 17" at Pablos here in Melbourne. J
