Road Legal Moto X Tyres

[davidblythe]

What with all the snow, the DRZ has been pressed back into service for commuting

the old non legal moto x tyres are shagged and the mooses have shrunk

any recommendations for a set of road legal moto x tyres

will be going back to the green lanes, minimal road use, mud and chalk off road, occasional sand

AC10s are road legal but might be a bit wild for road use (though I used to run em on my old LC4 640 ok, as I long as I remembered not to trail brake whilst cornering)

I've used B F Goodrich Crossengos on both my DRZ and two KTM 525's with good results

There is no better combination than that Mitas Tyres can supply:-

Front C-19
Rear CO2

A pair is about £70.
Keep pressures between 15 to 18 psi.
Use rimlocks on both wheels with heavy duty inner tubes. Avoid ultra heavy duty tubes.

+1 for AC10s. They won't last all that long on the black stuff but work well off it and are 100% legal. In fact I think my DRZ-400S came with them as standard.

 

[timeandtide]

+1 for Mitas

 

[FERRET]

Why do you suggest avoiding ultra heavy duty tubes Timpo?

 

[brad949]

+2 for Mitas
I got good advice and service from the importer

+3 for the Mitas. Although a novice to the off road scene,the ones on my DRZ 400 handled superb last week in the Peak. Were fine on the ride back to Doncaster too. I looked at the AC10's as our Police off road crime team run them. That said the DR came with the Mitas so that saved me about£120 a pair ( Including fitting and removing wheels cos i'm crap)

am having a great time commuting to work, wished i had read the replies before i ordered a set of VEE RUBBER VRM211

did see the Mitas rubber but kept thing of a CZ so didnt order them

only trouble is they wont arrive as quickly as i need them due to the snow

Ive got a set of AC10's on my 400E that ive been using to get to work these last few days. No problems in the snow or wet.

Agreed, very hard wearing and apart from a bit of a weave at speed good for road use as well. I picked up three for under 90 quid delivered.
