Big Yac:
An update on my tire selection.  I went and got a Continental rear tire after reading the tire test in Dirtrider and seeing that the tire received favorable marks.  The tire works great whether in a straight line or in the turns  I am in east central Ohio, so the dirt I encounter in a day goes from mud, rocks, ruts, and roots in the woods to hard packed clay in the strip mines, pretty much we have it all.  I had let my friend lead for a while on his Yamaha Warrior and in an open spot in the woods, with dry dirt, I got alittle crazy and passed him and he said the roost off my tire was like a tidal wave.  Anyways, I will report from time to time on how it wears but after one good, hard ride it still looks good.  One other thing to note, I am a big guy, 300lbs so most of time any tire I use gives me good traction except the Dunlop 695 I had and the 756.
