Next time I get tyres, street tyres front and rear.
How long do knobblies last on hot tar?
I've ridden full tread through water on tar, Vlad. It's not preferable over street tires or even dual sport 50/50s. But, sacrifices have to be made because out on the dirt, if I can't trust my rear tire to hook up, I'm not going to have a fun day. Which reminds me, time for a new rear.
Vlad, the tread on these tired wears out incredibly quick, but at like 40-70$ for a Thai tire, I'm not too worried.
