At 3.00 x 19" it's slightly narrower which makes for better handling on the street too. It cost me £50 at Kempton (which in retrospect sounds a little dear). I haven't tried it in action yet but the compound feels nice and grippy - unlike the perished and hard speedway cast-off I ran last year.
Your back tyre isn't so crucial if it fishtails in the quagmire but if you want to keep your pants soil free, it's most helpful you have a well planted front-end. BP


* Bobbly is a term first coined by Skooter Farm Dave in Milan a couple of years ago when he took note of the nouvelle vague choppers with motocross tyres - ie bobber with knobbly tyres. This Evo' built by Benny Boneshaker is a perfect example of the genre.

There is also the Pirelli MT43 which is really nice and road legal and the Heidenau K67.
I got Shinko SR241's, a little under 100 Euro's for both if I remember.
Very nice and DOT road legal
Soon to be seen on my SR500 Retro (street) tracker
