    Yep, it went right on. Fits the same rim used for a 90/90 21. I have that tire on three dual sports now and obviously really like it.

    I sure hope ZT starts to stock the 216 rear.

    i'm curious what you use for the rear tire on the 310R with the 216aa 90/100-21 front?

    I am still using the stock Michelin Enduro Competition on the 310. It seems to do fine in the loose rocks and desert tracks/sand. With four dual sport bikes, the miles go on each fairly slow, and the 310 isn't for long trips, just local trails. Not sure what tire I will go with next; have to see how many miles the Michelin makes.

    One of my riding mates bought a used Ktm 450, it's a few years old and he's been messing with it trying to get some confidence in the front end.
    Someone suggested the GT216 and with it and the last bit of fork fiddling he finally has a setup he's happy with.
    We've just been out in crazy rain on the trails (there's a cyclone 400km away) and he loved it.
    I've still got my Bridgestone Battlecross X30s I fitted up a few months ago in the dry weather.
    They were faultless as well.
    Neither of us had a moment all day.

    I'm waiting for the call from zipty saying my tires are in the mail. It's getting close to crunch time... I may end up getting something else if it's longer than 1 more week. Insert sad face here...

    I will give the 216AA a try. The 310R performance is not what I hoped for in sandy washes which I attribute to the skinny tire up front. I was thinking of upgrading to a 500 with beefier wheels to solve the problem but I'll try this tire first.

    Sand is 80% of the terrain that I ride on. I found that the 216 helped my 511 considerably. I also increased my front rim width from 1.6 to 1.85.

    Haha, no. Bought a wider rim, like those we used to race on our XR's.

    My Goldetyre went flat and gave me this....

    Either it flatted and washed out or flatted "as it washed out". Rider doesn't remember much except realizing he was going down?
