Title: front tyre choice
Post by: hagon_84 on October 28, 2012, 10:39:11 pm
i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on front tyre choice on a 21in rim on a crf250 for dt, i no u can run a standard knobby but on real hard pack surfaces i dont think its goin to be tyre of choice. im running a michy x11 trial comp 18 on the rear to, i know its not really vintage but its still dirt track  ;D

Personally I'd stick with the 21", there aren't many guy's running 19's any more.

No Steve it has a new tread patern and not avaliable in the sticky compound.
Doesn't look to bad.

Now I haven't tried too many front tyres on dirt track, but I run a Motoz X-Circuit 21" on my 05 YZ125 and it is brilliant. Particularly in the dry. Way way better than a Dunlop 752 I tried.  There's an interesting thread on tyres here on Aussie Dirt Track racing:
