Tires

[Gary Brinton]

I've decided that the Metzeler tires on my 1972 Jackpiner need replaced after 30 years.  I would like a recommendation on what tires to get?

Thanks,
Gary

Gary,
If you intend on trail riding, the Michelin M12 is fine for the front and the S12 for the rear.  The M is medium compound and the S is a soft compound. The problem with running the S on the front is that in rocks it can pinch the tube. The Dunlop 756 is also a great tire.  Go to the Holeshot website, found in the POG links, and go into their message board and search through the KTM forum section.  There is enough tire info there to keep you busy for hours.  Are you going to York??  Paul

Thanks Paul.

I'm going to York Sunday morning.  See you there?

Gary

Gary,
Yes, I will see you there.
