W.T.M. - Weekly updates

Tracks or not, life would suck without a good tire guy!

P.s. anyone looking to try a set of Dunlop at82's? I right around 1 hour, maybe less, on a set front and rear and while they did work well, i just love my 34's.
 
I have been fortunate to change tires and test all types of stuff over the last 7 years. This is my go-to recommends from myself and customers personal opinions (The Meister's, who will have me change brand new tires because they 'dont' like em lol)

MX3S Front - MX34 Rear / MX14 Rear should be the combo in your corner for those diehard dunlopers. Only MX14 if its soft soil, you are not tomac, dont use that tire for indoor or mid-summer OH mx. Some prefer the MX34 front, but it still is not as good as the previous MX33 front.

Michelin Starcross 6 (Soft/Medium) not the hard mortar compound, those suck a** and have no flex.

Battlecross X40 Front - X31 Rear - The stone lovers. This combo kills for the price and RMATV will often run deals to get you a prepaid mastercard. Watch for these in early 'spring' when your tax return is waiting to deposit.

Pirelli Extra X - for the - Holy s**t, those other tires are expensive!

Tusk - Way better than your current bald ass tires and you dont give a hoot what goes on the rims.
 
Cough cough it's your fault i tried 34 factory spec tires cough....

Seriously tho, those around the Canton area... If you dont know... Schaffernocker owns Smooth Speed. He should be your go-to for tire buying and tire changes. Dirt, street, bicycle, quad billys... Hes your guy with the best price and customer service in town.. i will never bust a knuckle again as long as hes around!

I would agree
 
Wish he was closer I’d get tires there everytime. 3 hours is a little far though I like the 34s on front and rear even at like redbud I don’t like the scoop I’ve ran it but have had way better traction and feel on 34s the scoop is just too much once the track gets beat in

I have all these brands except Bridgestone running on various bikes right now. I use mid soft tires so mostly MX 33 and 34 Dunlap, MX32 Pirelli, T-35 Tusk and one big old might last forever Michelin rear on a next gen 360 Husky. I did recently get a YZ 295 build that came with a AT82 Dunlap rear that I'm warming up to. I have a 24 YZ 125 the came with Tusk tires. When I first saw them I thought they were junk but after riding on them, they are really good for me. So good that I ordered a replacement set figuring that prices will go up. I don't know if they will would work on larger bikes but for what this old guy needs from the 125 at 40+ hours so far, they are fine.
 
I’ve thought about trying tusk tires I mean all there stuff is really good and way cheaper especially if you had two sets of wheels I’d throw them on for practice tires
 
I havent tried the tires but i was turned off once when i bought tusk brake pads in a pinch and in 3 laps at Malvern i wore them to the metal lol.

What do you want for them. I love the 82’s for the woods.

The t-35 is a solid tire dude. I reallllllly like it. Great traction, and good corner grip. I ran one for a whole season on my 300sx racing gncc and mx. for the price you really can’t beat them.

The Tusk products have came along way since the initial load of that brand in general.

The tusk rears are solid for the price - 100%

Tusk products are good stuff I use multiple things and they are the best. I even started using there chains last year and lasted just as long as renthal r1 chains and I’ll keep buying them
 
Went to Indian hills in IL drove over after watching supercross Saturday. The facility is top tier at the du Quinn state fairgrounds. Track layout is fun it’s super fast got super rough rutted and gnarly as usual I liked it though my only complaint was it was really fast and twitchy and prep wasn’t great. The twitchy feeling was because they have a disc that digs deep but it’s old school prep and they don’t have a mascio to till it up fine so it’s super chunky however one thing I did like is they would water here and there but they let it get a lil dusty and dry but obviously it was never slick as hell on the hard pack dirt. And the start sucked because it was like you went uphill out the gate then it would drop 5 feet on the other side and then back up the hill. I would go back I had fun.
