  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I'm currently running a Maxxis Des. IT in 120/100-18. How much different would a 5.10-18 IRC VE 33 be? Any opinions on this particular tire?
 
A 120 is 4.72" wide. The Maxxis is a beefy tire and I run it as well. I would bet its true width is a little wider. The IRC is obviously a bit wider still. I'd be willing to bet you have the width clearance in the back. The stock tire is a 140, which is technicall 5.5" wide. However, I think that the stocker was a "narrow" 140...it is still a fat tire.
As far as the actual tire goes...I know nothing... Ha!
 
Love the Maxxis Desert IT on the rear of the WR360...l can run the thing down to 8psi without pinching the tube.

PS. Have no idea when it comes to imperial measurements of tyres....l just go by 120/100 and 80/100 :)
 
After more research....Maxxis lists the Des. IT at 5.3 inches wide and 27.5 high. The Irc is 5.07 wide and 27.4 high. I still would be interested in any reviews on the VE33!
