Bumpy tires again

[Jewcati]

I don't love the MT16 front, feels like it gets overwhelmed by the grip of the rear

[OneCheekRider]

Need to order some new sneakers for the wr250f.
typical new england trails but.....
figure I need some DOT legal sticker on em so I can pass inspection.

Any thoughts?

This has recently become relevant to my interests

For my recent 650+ mile dual sport ride throughout Baja, I spooned on a Kenda Washougal II Front (DOT rated) and Kenda Trackmaster II rear (also DOT) per recommendations. Baja is unique in that you hit every type of terrain: mud, deep sand, rock, etc. If you hit a variety of surfaces and want to maintain DOT compliance, I highly recommend the setup.

Just picked up yet another MT16 this weekend and will be taking the 2 year old Ibex off for good. Honestly the Ibex lasted a long time. Two week long trips to WV. Some new england work. Not bad life for my money. I'd run one again for the right ride. For me the MT16 just does more for me in more places. I'm trying to break in some new trails at the new property and I need a bit stiffer knobs to help cut into the side hills.

BTW. I'm in heaven having great riding right out side the door.

regarding DOT, in addition to the Kenda recommendations, check out the offerings from Motoz as well.

Anyone know if the mt 16 front is DOT?
I see some people say yes.. some say no

Either way. I think... I'll just spoon some super cheap DOT used tires for the inspection and then swap on the the MT16 and M59 on the rear. Bike will be 99.5% on dirt

The HF tire changer should come in handy now

Maybe it's just the way I read your comment, but it's usually the other way around here in the NE....
MT16 rear
M59 front

Read your comment and I was " Did I order the wrong sizes at 1am last night?
nope
MT16 rear
M59 front

So my question on the 16 being DOT is moot
