I have just become a DR350S ('92) owner.

I have bought it to start enduro rally and general off-road fun. I need some road legal (for scrutineering), off-road tyres. I have looked at the threads and have got alittle confused not difficult.


Any suggestions greatly appriciated

Have a look at www.wulfsport.com

The Mitas 'C'-series tyre are, I believe, all road legal. You'll get a good price and good service from Wulfsport.

I used the Pirelli MT21 on mine.

I think the Michelin AC10 was the most extreme knobbly while still being road legal.

Also, Bridgestone Gritty's - dead good in the stickier stuff and road legal.

That's one on the back on my old DRZ

Can you answer why you and many others have different tyres on the front and rear?

At this point I think I am sounding really thick but Iam still confused

I was looking at tyres myself today and I've just priced up a set of tyres:

MITAS C-19 FRONT TYRE 90/90-21

MITAS C-02 REAR TYRE 120/90-18

£72.66 for the pair inc delivery from www.wulfsport.com

No other reason that the rear the bike came with was not road legal and yet the front was (they were both the same model of Pirelli, can't remember which type though), so, a new rear was needed and that was all I could get at short notice

Good choice though, I thought it was a great tyre
