[QUOTE="Auburn, post: 957856, member: 5661"] Now that I finally got to teh end of the thread. Good decision!. You will find if you get a DOT approved knobby, I think that Michelin maks the only one that is a full knobby and DOT approved it will help a lot with loos sand and dirt. It is a compromise for the street. Here is a good one by michelin. [URL="https://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2/29/393/19852/ITEM/Michelin-T63-Dual-Sport-Rear-Tire.aspx"]Tire[/URL] they are relativley inexpensive and will give better perfomance in the dirt and sand. It will defineitly help with building dirt bike skills. I run the michelin S12 front and rear on my gasgas, but it is not DOT approved. But they don't care about that here in Washington. Yes my gasgas (2 stroke 300) has a license plate on it. But that is more for the forest service roads between trails so they don't ticket you. Enjoy the dual sports. The other good thing about the dirt, he can go as fast as he can and not worry about getting a ticket. :) [/QUOTE]
