Mt 21 rally cross

[Robbo1961]

Just fitted these to the xc are they any good in sand? Also do you reckon they will get me to morrocco and back ?

I really like MT21s but have now moved on to Mitas as they are less expensive and harder wearing. Unfortunately MT21 are not the best in sand and I think the back tyre would be pretty much past it for the return trip.

I used to use them all the time on 650 sized bikes and they're good enough in the sand for what you'll want. Now I used tyres like Deseerts, E09s and 908s.

Front's vague in mud although they handle very well on tarmac but like ChasF says if you're riding there and back it'll be fecked so consider Mitas E09 certainly on the rear or more expensive, one of my favourites the Dunlop 908.

MT21s good enough here

Cheers guys, do you think the Dunlop 908 will get me there and back then Tim ?

Ran one of these on the TAT trip i did a few years back, got 5k miles out of it and still had plenty of meat left when i got back (though not really enough to inspire confidence in english mud!).

Longer lasting than michelin's desert i found.

Yes, I think it's perhaps one of the hardest wearing tyres that'll also perform well although as Losttheplot says, the rear tread pattern allows some lateral movement, perhaps far too much in mud but I like that in the dry.

I have a brand new 908 front which I'm not using if you find a rear and want to match them.

Thanks Tim I've fitted the rallycross, but time I do a few miles here added to &fro across Spain Il have a look and see if I can match them up

If it's a mechanical speedo check the wheel gearbox is turning.
What about Heidenau K60 Scout tyres? 50-50 mud tarmac and long life - at least in 12GS sizes.
