TE/TC Front tire ideas

I race harescramble and needing a new brand and make of front tire because i enjoy trying something different. What are you all running?? Im on every type terrain racing. Thanks

Hard to go wrong with the goldentyre fatty 216.

I agree with the above. The 216 is a great tire. I have ran the Fatty for a few years now.
However I am currently running the "Golden Tyre" Desert one 216 DST 90/100/21". Its the same pattern but has a bit taller knobs (15%) when new and it has a 4-ply carcass rather than the 2 ply of the 216AA "Fatty".
It probably suits my conditions here in the AZ desert a little better than the Fatty.
You can't beat either one IMHO.

I just gave my used 216 fatty to my brother cause he runs front tubliss, might be better at 6-8psi.
Thinking of the metzler 6days or the pirelli mt16 front. I slso hear the bridgestone m59 is good

For New England woods, the m59 is hard to beat.
Mt16 rear.

I might try that m59 next....

Michelin comp 6
90/100-21

Try one of them

Im running this paired with the tubliss system, im extremely happy with it.

Yup this combo just flat out works in the woods

2nd that on the Tubliss!

I've been running the Shinko 546 fatty. Extremely pleased with it. Being cheap is a nice bonus.

What's the lowest pressure you've run? I'm running10psi with a heavy-duty tube. Wondering how low you can go before it starts to roll or feel wobbly......

I run a fatty front with Tubliss and find anything under 10psi the tire starts to roll.

I had the same experience as "hammer" with the 216 Fatty as well. I thought maybe it was just me weighing in at 245lbs. Lol.

I run the M59 or MT16 between 8 and 12 psi on Tubliss at 185lbs without gear.
Minimal roll.
I tend to have the perspective with the Tubliss of this:
I run my normal tire PSI and the Tubliss prevents me from getting a flat.
I don't run super low pressure expecting performance enhancements, just hate changing flats in the field, and carrying irons.

I run Tubliss and from my experience a lot of tires that do not perform well with tubes do great with Tubliss. I choose an intermediate desert tire with a stiff sidewall and run 7-8 psi in the front and 4-6 psi in the rear. I have run a MT43 at 80 miles per hour with 5 psi and no stability problems at all. I've tried several motocross tires and if I don't run more psi they will rip side knobs and start weeping slime from the rips. I have got staub punctures on the rear tire several time and with stiff sidewall tire I've gone many miles with zero psi and no loss in performance. I went 9 miles on an flat Dunlop mx tire and the Tubliss kept it on the rim so I could finish the hare scramble but the inside of the sidewall was shredded from heat and overworking it. If you recognize that you have a flat you can stop and worm patch it and if you have a compact bicycle pump you are good as new. The last Sedona tire I used had 3 staub flats before I went with a new tire one of which was so bad I had to double up the worm patch. To me the upside of Tubliss is you can get trials tire grip and mx tire performance out of a long lasting desert tire and fix flats without breaking down the wheel and tire. (a pump and worm patch weighs less that one tube and can fix both front and back.)

I agree with lankydoug. I just carry 2 co2 cartridges instead of the pump!

GT216AA 2PLY IS THE LATEST GO TO RUBBER FOR A WIDE RANGE OF TERRAIN. WIDE KEEPS YOU ON TOP, LARGE CARCASS HAS ALOT OF GIVE FOR ROCKS. fitted with an M16 Michelin Bib Mousse and stuffed after some ride time.
