Comments On May 20, 2013:This tire has to soft of a sidewall to ride dirt roads or street. I had to put 25lbs in it to get through the day and it still rolled over in turns. Do not buy this for trail riding. I did like the Michelin for trail riding. I have not tried any other brands

Comments On Apr 27, 2013:This tire instills confidence. Overall less deflection over bumps and excellent traction everywhere except greasy mud. If you agree with the concept of tread lightly then this tire is for you. Friend of mine on a KTM 250XCWF (designed for trail riding) tore up switchbacks with his knobby whereas I could just motor around them calmly with sure traction and clutch modulation while not rototilling the trail's tread unlike a knobby. Performance wise this tire is unique with a rounded trials surface vice the squared off surface found on every other brand. The treads are a gooey rubbery compound that forms to the terrain. I used my usual low pressure (6-7 psi) approach and a UHD rear tube but found the rear end to fishtail and wallow around due to overall soft rubber. Bumped it up to 14 psi and it was excellent. No sliding around, no wallow, better hook up, no spinning, etc. Along with all this you do not need to lace up a 18" wheel which saves you at least $250 in parts. Tread life is good too - knobs do not round off immediately unlike a knobby. I have had a 18" rear trials on a different bike and this 19" really is no compromise.

Comments On Apr 15, 2012:Heard the hype about trials tires but I have previously been out of luck with my need for a 19" DOT tire. I was very excited to try these out. Installed this tire on my XR400 using a Tubeliss system running 22psi onroad and 16 off. The grip is amazing but after EXACTLY 225 miles of road and 25 miles of fire road it wouldn't hold air anymore - there were cracks in several of the knobs where they met the body of the tire. Didn't throw any knobs but the cracks went all the way through.
Additional Comments On Apr 17, 2012:As expected RMATV came to the rescue. Love this site...
Additional Comments On Apr 05, 2013:Finally got an 18" wheel and ran a Pirelli MT-43 that all the dual sport guys out in SoCal run. 2000 miles later its getting close to needing replacement. Trials tires are awesome in all terrain except really gooey wet clay and wet logs. You'll have to adjust your riding style a bit because the extra traction and sidewall roll makes those first few corners feel a bit weird. Also you have less traction on slippery downhills so the rear will lock up a bit easier. For deep sand, take it easy on the clutch when starting out or it'll spin a lot more than a knobby. Once you're moving, sand is a cinch since the tire floats on top a lot better than a knob.

Comments On Mar 03, 2013:my KTM friends kept bugging me to get a trials tire for my YZ. i told them no way it, would look stupid. well, it does look stupid but let me tell ya, that SHINKO tire hooks up on the nasty roots and rocks of western wa. the knobby i ran bounced off stuff but the trials tire doesn't and provides amazing traction where i didn't think it would get. i will buy another......i don't need a KTM to keep up with them anymore and the REKLUSE is another way to get even. worth every penny

Comments On Jun 11, 2012:Glad to finally have a 19" trials option. Faster in the woods, faster on the track. Little 250 rails now with this rear. Anybody with a 2005 CR250F should put one on. Improved my Cal City lap times by a full second. They must by illegal in AMA or Baggett, Bam Bam and Hotsauce would be running them. If you drive a log truck and have too many bikes this is your tire for sure.

Comments On Jun 25, 2011:I ran this on a 09 TE450 Husky. Tire grips very,very well but was so soft chunking was a concern on almost all hard terrains. If you ride slow,rocky and technical terrain I'd try one,but if your a full bore fireroad, sand/coal dirt guy I'd pass. I got a flat with mine on a gravel road,after riding the nasty stuff go figure. Also run with a Ultra HD tube at around 10-12psi tire is soft enuff not to have to run 8psi.
