DRZ DIRT Front tire recommendations?

[sierrarider96]

I did some searching, but didn't find what I'm asking. What are your recommendations for the "best" Front tire for a DRZ 90/10 dirt/street? Dirt 'round here being rocky mixed with grains of sand in widely different sizes, hard pack, some pure sand washes and sometimes an occasional mud patch. Years ago the Dunlop K139 (on my XR600) was king here. What now?

Thanks.

Perrelli MT16 works very well for me. some have used trials tires with great success.

if you ride alot you will have plenty of opportunities to find what works best for you.

+1 on the MT-16. It's listed as an "all-terrain" tire. Sticks like glue on everything I've thrown at it here in West Virginia. By the way, all Pirelli front tires are DOT in case you're wondering.

Mt-16 totally kicks ass.

bridgestone M23 ... the cheng shin C755 is good value for the price .

I like my newish kenda k777. Works great in the desert with a k760 and with a paddle at the dunes.

Perrelli MT16 . I pulled of the AC10 after on trip on the asphalt, it was very snakey. No problem with the Perrelli.

for the terrain youre talking about nothing beats the pirelli scorpion pro for the front IMO

+1 for the KENDA 777s for the front, and they're rated for 106mph!!

[IGONNA]

SCORPION PROs are better! But I wore them out too fast. KENDA 777 frnt and 790 rear, work as good, and wear longer. AND they're rated at ONE HUNDRED SIX miles per hour!!!! no more flingin' the knobies off from the freeway!!!
