Tire recommendations?
Jeeks:
I'm not experiencing loosing knobbies, just wearing the tire out. Any brands/models you recommend?
Platypus:
Maxxis Desert IT seems to be a long wearing tire. I have not tried one on my 500 yet but it will be the next tire to go on it. I have them front and rear on my 250 but I would like to try out some other fronts. Also don't confuse the Desert IT with the standard IT if you decide to try one out.
Oh I should probably mention I do most of my riding in the high desert of Southern California which is rocky, sandy, silty, hard pack, rocky and rocky. Well, if you like looking for rocks.
The Flyin Hawaiian:
The terrain you described sounds similar to what I ride. I use a tire that is relatively new here in the states but popular in the european world enduro competition. They are Mitas tires. I use the EF06 front and the C10 rear. They last a long time and the traction is excellent. They are reasonably priced also. Dont let the obscure name scare you, they are really great tires! I get them here. http://www.werproducts.net/cs.php

The old Bridgestone I think M22 was an awesome hard terrain tire, but could be melted off in a race. My experience with soft terrain tires is they peel the lugs off because they are so hard. By the way I run primarily Bridgestone tires so I can't comment on your dunlops.

Don, do you have any experience with the 401/402 Bridgestone combo..? Presently I have the 601/602
kawish:
try michelin MH3 or MS3, their very good, on my 250 i love the MH3(meduim hard) lot of grip on hard pack and good traction in sand. their long lasting too. my last 6 tire was the MH3.
