Why We Like It

• The bias-ply carcass soaks up surface imperfections better than a radial, and it is a large part of why this tire costs what it does.
• DOT approved, which means it is street legal not a closed-course tire you have to trailer to.
• Top speed rating in this range is S (112 mph), so the rating is not the limiting factor on most bikes it fits.
• 12 sizes covering 14- through 21-inch wheels unusually broad fitment, which is why it turns up on so many different builds.

Why You’d Like It

• You ride off-road and want traction you can feel on loose and broken ground.
• It fits 14- through 21-inch wheels the range is wide, so check your sidewall before ordering.
• These are tube-type, so plan on a fresh tube (and a rim lock if you are running low pressure).
• The same tire works front or rear, which keeps spares simple if you run a matched set.
• Pricing runs $48.41 to $117.26 depending on size.
