    Anyone tried the new motoz hybrids or can recommend something along those lines sedonas are hard to find around here did have a mt43 on my gasgas200 was pretty happy with it apart from having less side wall grip.

    Since I bought every trelleborg ten masters from my local dealer the dust was free 15 years ago. They ran great dug in like crazy never ripped a knob off. Trench diggers. Now with none in the states I switched to the IRC 140-18 scary big and the IRC M5B 5:10-17 and 5:10-18 tires. Since the huskys love to spin tires the bigger knobbies the better. Not a bad replacement for the orginal trelleborgs.

    I laugh inside when the non husky riders see the size of the 140/5:10 tires on the huskies.

    Agree normally go with a big rear, but going to be setting up a regular loop on a friend of a friends property and thought running a hybrid would be less damaging motoz are readily available here so was looking into those running 4psi on husky pegged rims.

    Smaller sized tires spin more.

    The motoz are a wide heavy trye and at 4 psi should have a big footprint at higher speed would imagine centrifugals expand tyre to give a smaller footprint, wondered if the pegged rims coul d be a problem at low psi.
