Well after a long ride out on a flat rear tire, it looks like its time to stare blankly at the wall of rubber at the local dealership again.
I've already tried a Dunlop D739 but I wasn't at all happy with the hookup, or lack thereof. The original D755 (I think thats what it was) that came with the bike (a YZ426) really stuck but all the knobbies were severed after a couple of weeks. So I'm wondering if anyone has found a tire that they'd recommend for the thumper in intermediate to hard terrain. We've got all kinds of stuff here, sand, dirt, roots, gravel, but worst of al is the sharp pointy rocks sticking out of all the hill faces.
And while I've got your attention, has anyone found a fork boot that will fit over the front forks of these bikes?
Thanks a bunch!
