    Hi guys I'm after some recommendations on some dirt tyres.

    They need to be road legal but the main use is intended for forest/green lanes.

    Size I'm looking for is 100/90/19

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

      What are like like on road? I was told they are dangerous due to then spacing of the rubber?

        @gareth_iowc Bumpy lol. I used to run Continental Offroad tyres. Used to get them ex race for a fiver. Would only last a month or so. Used to kick the back end out round corners though, which was fun.

        ThT is the thing with sumo setup, too safe.

              Look at Continental TKC 80.

              Keep it real

                @gareth_iowc I've got some part worn ac 10s on mine at the mo! If I'm honest haven't ridden my Dt a lot but they seem durable and also grippy on and off road 🙂

                  Thanks @Bentley.

                  What size is every one running on the front?

                  I've current got:

                  Front 90/90/21
                  Rear 90/100/19

                  I can't find a set that matches that. I can find an 80/90/21.

                  I can get road legal 90/90/21 but I would have to have mis matched tyres. Is that aloud?

                    @gareth_iowc I'll have to check tomoz!
                    I think they're fairly generic, by that I mean Ac-10s don't vary much in width/profile! As long as you have the correct size.
                    Mine are 18Rear 21Front
                    Does that help at all?

                      looks like the older Dts had a different size rear wheel!
                      19inch? I think ac10s do that however.
                      Like the previous chap said tho I can't imagine some part worn Dunlop Mx 71s will perform much different.
                      They're both a hard pack tyre and I think the stud pattern is very similar and I wouldn't pay any attention to road legal or not unless your worried about getting caught out. (Just scrub the bit out that says not for road use)

                        @Bentley Pretty sure DTR DTRE use the same wheels.
