madfish21 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hi Andy and welcome to the forum, What is it you intend to do with the bike ? is it purely a road/commute bike or will you be using it offroad and greenlaning etc, this obviously makes a difference to what tyres are best Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madfish21 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hello again , No need to apologise fella just didn't want to give you useless info :-) , Tyres are a massively personal thing so I can only tell you what I have fitted, evryone will have their own view. As I mainly road ride with maybe one off road outing a month I have avon distanzia's on mine, they seem very good on road and ok off road which is all I need, you may need to look more off road specific as with your moto x background you'll spend more and more time getting minging :-) Hope this helps, Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy07111 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Lolol mark just really looking to see what ppl choice is i have only had it off road once as i dont want to ruin it as its in really good con for its age and type of bike Cheers for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark 88 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 hi all on my dtr i use Michelin ac10 they never slip on dirt and they get good mileage on the road but i wouldn't try any hairpin bends on wet roads lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busyeddie Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Ac10 is what o have on my 250, I like them off road, less so on road, but they are far better than some. I have a 3.50 continental twinduro on my dt, and is really the best compromise tyre. Similar to a deathwing, but better off and on road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted August 4, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2012 Bridgestone TW301/302 is my choice. Me too, they clog up a bit if you plod like the 4 stroke pilots but keep em spinning and their golden. Did have a proper mx mud tyre for the front in the winter. The rear was fine all round.
