Sharc:
Great...thanks for the info. I've had a flat M5B before and they do just turn to mush. Think I'll try the Maxxis.

I've gotta throw in my .02 here.

Kenda 120/90-19...an absolute MEAT HOOK! $45(or so) + $10 shipping...Cha Ching! Chaparral and Rocky Mt (?) should both have 'em. Huge Tire that slings enough crap to allow you to get even with ANYONE! I've even run one at Pismo when I didn't (STILL DON'T!) have a Paddle :P

I gave the 19" size because that's what I've been running in the Rocks of Shasta Dam and French Gulch...Nasty Tire Killin' Terrain that you guys have gotta ride to believe. Ask Mike Smith...No B.S....nasty tire killlllin' terrain!

Also, the IRC VE "32" (The 32 is real important here) is a phenomenal front tire. It's like the old Metzelers in the 80s with the Square knobbies. It just flat-out works EVERYWHERE and Lasts! It gets ya home when flat, also! $32 + Shipping!

Now, why can't you get a good Dunlop "Set" for $100? Hmmmmm?

Hey, I love Dunlops Desert stuff; However, I'm gonna have a chat with Frank Stacy at Kenda, 'cause they've got a heck of a tire that seems capable of Desert Race use. I'll know pretty soon. I'm keeping "Test Notes" on the lap top. I'll keep ya all informed!

Ditto!!! :D

Seem's like I read another post that stated IRC had an excellent all around tire the wore like iron.  Anyone remember what model that was?  I did search and didn't see it. :?:
