      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.

              I did have a look at the Michelin AC10?

                    @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.
