Post by KTMSprocket »

I need a new rear tyre for the sherco 2.9 (its already been reversed on the rim).


Im very much a beginner and only use the bike for fun (no comp)....any advice on what to go with? (and where to get?)

Hi KTMsp,

My guess.....go for a Dunlop. Cheaper than Mitch's and seem to wear a bit slower than a Mitch's on the rocks.

And for Club and C-grade, I reckon it's better to have a hard wall tyre. Incase the tyre goes flat. The rim still has a bit of protection.

And you could pick one up from Artarmon.


Best of balance.

Don, Send me a front and rear. I think you have my details on file.

PS. If I get down there soon (the outlaws territory you see), can i drop off the Sherco 0.5Kid on consignment?
